A short tunnel on the Ruifang Line of the Keelung Light Railway (基隆輕鐵瑞芳線), one of the hand-pushed trolley lines that served the gold mining settlements above Ruifang before roads reached them. The western portal stands at the end of a lane off Jiufen Old Street, hidden behind a garage put up by the household that owns the land, so anyone hoping to look inside has to ask first. Only the front section has been cleared out; the remainder is left as it was.

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.
