A 60-meter rock-cut passage on the Niaoqizai Trail (尿磜仔古道) in the hills east of Toufen, near the Yongheshan Reservoir (永和山水庫). Farmers once carried produce through the tunnel down to Zhonggang River (中港溪), where bamboo rafts took it on to market. The peculiar place name, which contains the character for urine (尿), is variously attributed to a thin stream trickling against the rock or to a landform likened to female anatomy, though neither account can be confirmed.

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.
