A small station on the Alishan Line (阿里山線) of the Alishan Forest Railway at 1,186 meters elevation in Zhuqi, established in 1910. After years of disuse the station house was converted into a bat ecology education center. Its subject is the Old No. 33 Tunnel (舊33號隧道), abandoned after a landslide buried its west portal during the floods of August 1959 and later colonized by bats. The entrance is fenced off and only researchers may enter.

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.
