A 50 meter-long tunnel hand-carved by gold miners in 1902, serving as the original connection between Ruifang and Jiufen. The name pong (磅) is Hokkien for “weighing”, as ore from the mines would have been measured here before transport. Before the road was built, this was the only route in and out of Jiufen. The tunnel has never been lined with concrete, leaving the raw rock exposed.

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.
