 | People and mannerism |  | |
 |  | ||
 |  on May 26, 2005 |
People are helpful and nice over there. Also, in subways' escalators, you will 95% of the time see that people are all standing in a straight line on the right. Left's for 'rushing people' to pass by. People there abide by this particular considerate rule a lot which is good of course. Should have taken a pic of this.. |

| Ruin of Gold Shrine | | |
| | ||
 |  on July 29, 2007 |
Gold Shrine was built up in Japanese colony time. Because of mine work, people have worship for mountain god. Pity it was mainly made of wood. Fire destroyed it and left stone building material. The location and the view of the shrine is very good. One can see sea, Keelung mountain and Tea Pot mountain. It's blue and green world. |

| Benshan 5. Tunnel | | |
| | ||
| on July 29, 2007 |
How is Taiwanese mine tunnel? The ticket takes you NTD50 only and you can experience the tunnel. It's cool inside, but far from the entrance 75m the air is bad. One can image how hard the work is and review the history. It's what you should never miss in Jinquashin. |
