[Chinese characters “Sincerity moves the world”, “All directions gather together”]
Two consecutive stormy weekends in October,
By fate, I walked into the century-old railway tunnel bicycle trail.
Sparsely populated, sometimes heavy rains like typhoons;
But there was no rain when entering the tunnel,
This is really like walking into a different realm!
Walking into the snow tunnel of a century-old railway,
Entering different enchantments reminds people of the “Peacock King Sutra” which is specially guarded by enchantments.

The Sandiaoling Tunnel bicycle lane is the first example in China to use steel paving as an elevated plank road pavement,
It won the Outstanding Award in the Environmental Planning and Design Category of the 7th Taiwan Landscape Awards hosted by the Landscape Society of the Republic of China.
Later, he won the “Best Highlight Cycling Track Award” organized by the Education and Sports Department of Taiwan.
Actually, those who like it are not the winners,
It’s the ecological construction method behind it that is the best!
Ecological design construction method and lighting method of Sandiaoling Bicycle Tunnel
You don’t need to bring a flashlight when entering, just open your body’s senses and walk well!
Designer Wu Zhongxun said,
This design has been questioned since the first day.
The French Michele & Miquel Landscape Architectural Firm, co-sponsored by the same designers, boldly used a method unprecedented in Taiwan to deal with tunnels and bicycle lanes:
No asphalt is laid, no slopes are cut, and only steel bars are used from beginning to end to make an elevated grid lane, which is implemented throughout the entire line!
It is really like this. If you experience it personally, it seems that the original century-old railway has traveled through time and manifested into the current time and space.
That’s right, it’s like Komachi’s time machine reappearing!
Because the railway was abandoned at that time, after the cave entrance was sealed, without human interference, streams, animals and plants came in, tadpoles and shrimps swam in the water, and bats flew in in groups to roost.
If we follow the traditional method,
After filling the cave with asphalt cement and adding a layer of iron lining inside the cave, the water flow, creatures and old brick walls will all disappear.
Harvard architecture teaches public space and social well-being,
It not only emphasizes beauty, but also allows everyone to feel the environment, improve the quality of life, create a new lifestyle, and enhance the public’s desire to care for the environment!
The north exit of Sandiaoling Bicycle Tunnel will soon arrive at the north exit
I walked slowly from Mudan to the northbound direction of Sandiaoling,
As soon as you exit the cave, you immediately face the Keelung River, and the world is vast in an instant.
You can overlook the Pingxi Line and Yilan Line of the Taiwan Railways in the distance,
The EMU3000 Ziqiang trains from Puyuma, Taroko, and Zhiqiang whizzed past each other. It can be seen that multiple types of trains are crossing each other.
; Looking down, you can see the unique pothole landscape of the Keelung River Valley.
The Spanish team of engineers said,
The scenery of the Pyrenees is magnificent but monotonous,
They were amazed by the intricate and distinctive joints on Taiwan’s mountain walls.
The high mountain island of Taiwan has a mountainous terrain and variable climate per unit area.
Small but beautiful, it should be considered world-class!
San Diao Ridge Tunnel-San Diao Ridge-San Diao Ridge Bicycle Trail:
The century-old “Dark Line of Time and Space” has become a popular tourist attraction.
The north exit of San Diao Ling Bicycle Tunnel, there is a pond ecology in front of it
Reproduce the glory of the century-old railway!
In the torrential northeast monsoon,
Having experienced the glory of the railway for a century, this “dark line of time and space” can be simply summarized and presented in the following way:
(1) Ecological design lighting method
(2) Preserve the century-old tunnel engineering design
(The top of the tunnel isred brick)
(3) The trail is elevated, with underground water below and ecological coexistence of water pools
(4) Visible limestone geology
(5) Ecological coexistence of bats
It is reminiscent of the battle tunnels of Kinmen and Matsu; the century-old railway is no less magnificent!
Whether it is the tunnel “Sanzhao Tunnel”, “Sandiao Ling Tunnel”, or the tunnel “Cao Ling Tunnel”, it is an important key for the Yilan Line of the Japanese-occupied railway to run from Taipei to Yilan!
The north exit of the Sandiaoling Bike Tunnel faces the Keelung River,
the bridge opposite is the current Taiwan Railway!
The Sanzhao Tunnel is here. After Sandiaoling Station passes the Sandiaoling Tunnel on the other side of Keelung Creek, there is an abandoned tunnel entrance. The five characters “Sincerity Moves the World” are written on the plaque. This was the gateway to Shuangxi back then. The longest tunnel is the north entrance of the tunnel, although it is only about 110 meters.
Exit from the north entrance of Sandiaoling Bicycle Tunnel to Chengdong Tiandi
The Chinese characters “Sincerity Moves Heaven and Earth” mentioned must be due to the difficulty of the excavation project, so these five characters were mentioned. “Sincerity Moves Heaven and Earth” was inscribed by Taiwan Governor Akashi Genjiro.
The Old Sandiaoling Tunnel is the second longest tunnel among the tunnels on the Yilan Line. The longest tunnel is the aforementioned Old Caoling Tunnel on the Yilan Line.
[South entrance of the old San Diao Ridge Tunnel Relics]In the old single-track era, the Yilan Line Railway originally had two tunnels, Sanzhao and Sandiaoling. Among them, Sanzhao Tunnel was closer to Sandiaoling Station.
The abandoned old Sandiaoling Tunnel has an inscription by Governor Kenjiro Arita at the south entrance, “All Directions Convergence”.

Thanks to the original designer, Engineer Wu, for coming up with the idea,
Thanks to world-class architecture for teaching public space and social well-being,
Not just emphasizing beauty, but letting everyone feel the coexistence of the environment;
Thank you to the decision-makers and participants for the wonderful cooperation,
Thanks for preserving the original century-old railway tunnel and recreating it
And the preservation of coexisting ecological species and life,
Thank you all for having the opportunity to travel through the authentic century-old time and space,
Fortunately, it was not a random cement filling project;
