Fongbi Tunnel, Tunnel in Taiwan
Fongbi Tunnel is a railway tunnel in Taiwan. It cuts through a hillside and has a concrete lining with a single track inside.
The tunnel was built in the early 20th century during the Japanese colonial period. It was later reinforced and remains part of the regional rail network.
Local walkers often use the tunnel as a shortcut between villages. Its name comes from the nearby settlement and appears in folk songs about the railway.
The tunnel is best visited on foot or by bike when the railway is not in use. Check local signs for access points and keep to the side path.
The tunnel walls have small niches that once held oil lamps for maintenance workers. These niches are still visible today.
