Remains of the 13 Levels, Historical smelter in Ruifang, Taiwan.
The Remains of the 13 Levels display an industrial structure with three exhaust pipes extending two kilometers up the Shuinandong hillside.
Built in 1933 during Japanese rule, this copper and gold smelting facility processed ore from the nearby Jinguashi and Jiufen mines until 1973.
The site represents Taiwan's industrial heritage and includes a memorial park dedicated to allied prisoners of war who labored in the surrounding mines.
Visitors reach the location via the Yilan railway line from Taipei, with regular stops at Ruifang and Shuinandong stations.
The facility's exhaust pipes, measuring two meters in diameter across two kilometers, represent the longest structure of this type worldwide.
