Taiwan was unveiled to the outside world via media reports on Wednesday after being deserted for more than 70 years.
Kuo Chi-ching (郭吉清), chairman of an old city culture association (舊城文化協會提供) in Kaohsiung, said on Wednesday that the association revisited a gigantic underground water reservoir on Mount Banping (半屏山) in Kaohsiung on December 14 last year. Kuo said that the association received an approval after applying to authorities for exploring the site near the closed CPC Kaohsiung Oil Refinery where the rumored underground water reservoir existed.
Members of the association’s staff arrived at the entrance of the hidden reservoir beside the Banping Mountain Nature Park with the assistance of CPC technicians. The entrance is a 20-meter long tunnel and at the end of the entrance is an almost vertical air shaft of about 10 meters tall, according to Kuo. [FULL STORY]
