A decommissioned tunnel on the former Wuji Cableway, an 1,800 meter-long transportation system for miners and material connecting Shuinandong with Benshan No. 6 Mine (本山六坑), likely operating in the 1960s. Until recently it was sealed by fencing but more recently the tunnel seems to have been pronounced safe for visitation and an informational plaque was put up around 2025. The original tracks for the cableway have all been ripped up and much of the route is overgrown but parts of it can still be explored on foot.

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.
