Kaidankeng Site Introduction

The Shulin area was once abundant in coal mining, leaving behind numerous mine pit ruins today. The Kaidankeng coal mine, with a history of over a century, was the most productive among all the mines in Shanzijiao at that time. After the Japanese colonization of Taiwan, they also recognized the rich mineral resources, which led to the construction of the current Shanjia Station as a dedicated coal transport station, until the mine was closed in 1959.
