Travel China and Beyond

Visit to the Gold Ecologica Park and JiuFen area - Taiwan

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to visit an interesting outdoor museum in Taiwan.  Friend of mine and his family invited me to join them in a visit to JinGuaShi and JiuFen.  JinGuaShi is an area where in the early 1920s -1940s-1950s there was an operation focused on mining gold and copper.   JinGuaShi was a booming town at the time and also a town where today one can see remnants of Japanese style wooden houses (special type of construction) and check out old mining tunnels.   I will write more about this in a later post, but at this time wanted to at least post some photos… Enjoy.
