A pair of railway tunnels completed in 1928 and formally known as Qiding No. 1 Tunnel (崎頂一號隧道) and Qiding No. 2 Tunnel (崎頂二號隧道). After the electrification of the railway line in 1978 they became obsolete. More recently they were recognized for their heritage value and integrated into Qiding Tunnel Cultural Park (崎頂隧道文化公園). Parking is at the north, and it’s about 600 meters from there to the far side of the second tunnel, mostly shaded.

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.
