Shuishewan Cave Thirteen Levels Ruins Introduction
Located near Shuinan Cave and Yinyang Sea, the Taipei Jin Old Mine, also known as the Thirteen Levels Ruins, was once the largest smelting plant in the Shuinan Cave, Jinguashi, and Jiufen areas. The smelting plant, used for extracting gold, silver, and copper ores, resembles a beautiful abandoned palace from a distance. The derelict smoke tunnels, spanning 2 kilometers, are partly visible in the mountains, adding a touch of mystery. To appreciate the unique desolate beauty of the Thirteen Levels Ruins, the best viewpoints are from the Shuinan Cave parking lot looking up and from the Changren Community viewing pavilion.
