Ruisan Coal Mine, Historic coal mine in Ruifang District, Taiwan
Ruisan Coal Mine is a historic mining site in Ruifang featuring original structures and machinery that illustrate twentieth-century extraction methods. The complex includes multiple buildings and installations that demonstrate how coal was extracted and processed at this industrial facility.
The mining operation began during the Japanese colonial period and became significant for Taiwan's coal production before eventually closing. This era shaped the region's industrial development and left a lasting mark on the local economy.
The mining site reveals how workers lived and spent their days through remaining tools, housing areas, and workspaces scattered across the grounds. These elements give visitors a genuine sense of what daily life looked like for the people who labored here.
The site is accessible by public transportation and guided tours are offered in multiple languages. Allow enough time to explore all areas of the complex and follow along with the tour at a comfortable pace.
A 140-meter rock formation was created by decades of mining activity and now stands as a silent witness to this industrial past. This striking stone structure serves as a reminder of the vast quantities of material extracted from the area.
