A large mine in the hills of Sanxia. The original pit is barred but still visible, and there are ruins of an old office and some dormitories around the site. Accessible from a hiking trail that was once a tramway for the mine. There also seems to be some confusion about the name of the mine, for it was once within territory considered to be the Haishan Second Pit (海山二坑).

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.
