Derelict coal mine transformed into a city park and small museum. It was originally established around 1936 and operated until 1965. It was renamed Xinsheng Coal Mine (新生煤礦) after a change of ownership in 1950, but it is more generally known by its original name nowadays. The original adit is still accessible behind a diorama showing miners at work, and several of the red brick buildings on site date back to the 1950s. Do not enter the mine, it is extremely dangerous!

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.
