Tunnel of Nine Turns, Taiwan

 


These rocks are made of Marbles. The tunnel was made in 1950s. A lot of veterans died in building this tunnel. Swallows are everywhere around here.

  4. It is all marble? I am surprised it was not destroyed by mining! I would sure not want to be on this scary road!

  6. Hello,
    I can imagine all the hard work it was building that tunnel. It is a lovely view! Have a great day!

  7. I think swallows nest on cliff faces, so it makes sense there being a lot of them around. What work that tunnel must have been.

  8. Gorgeous, but not a road I would feel comfortable on. Yes I know, I am a wimp.

  9. Amazing bit of engineering. Building tunnels used to be incredibly dangerous work; thousands lost their lives building our railways.

  13. El paisaje es precioso, pero por lo que nos dices de ese túnel su construcción fue todo una desgracia con la muerte de muchos obreros.

    Saludos.

  14. Again, amazing scenery, and I can understand why swallows enjoy it (if they are similar in behavior to our swallows in the United States). I've never seen anything like that scenery in person. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

  16. Wow - that's some engineering, first on the part of the Creator, and then on the part of those who constructed the roads.
