The remains of an old cableway or funicular station can still be found in the hills of Jinguashi in Ruifang. Ore and other mining materials were transported further downslope with winches and cables back in the day. Somewhat more recently the cableway has been tidied up, exposing the original tracks. It was approximately 317 meters long and now makes for a nice hike from the parking lot next to Qianji Temple (勸濟堂).

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
