Favorite thing: 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.

Fondest memory: 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.

Favorite thing: 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.
