An old railway tunnel built in the Japanese colonial era for transportation of sugarcane. Back in those days pushcarts would have been moved by hand or oxen through this tunnel. In the post-war era it was converted into a road tunnel. It is the last of Nantou County’s railway tunnels still in use, and apparently also the longest of those built to support the sugar industry in Puli.

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).
