An arched aqueduct spanning the Waijiufen River. It was originally built in the early 1930s as part of the water supply system (金瓜石礦業圳道及圳橋) for the immense Shuinandong Smelter. Also known as Shanjianan Water Bridge (山尖鞍水圳橋) or Golden Bridge (黃金橋). Combined with the Qing dynasty era footbridge below, and the pedestrian bridge still in use, the entire site is also called the Three-Layer Bridge (三層橋).

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.
