Benshan Wukeng Introduction
Ben Shan Five Pits, as the name suggests, is one of the nine tunnels from the prosperous period of Ben Shan mining. It is located on the hillside of Ben Shan, with an elevation of about 295 meters. After gold mining in Jinguashi stopped in 1972, the Five Pits also faced the fate of closure in 1978. The Five Pits is the most well-preserved tunnel among the nine mining pits in Ben Shan today. The air compressor, mine cars, washrooms, and ore transport cableways used for gold mining in the past are still preserved, witnessing a century of Jinguashi mining history.
