Danshuinan Cave is very colorful in the corridor of historical time and space!

From the perspective of ancient place names, history and cultural assets, the water mentioned in Shuijinjiu is Shuinan Cave. Although it is not as famous as Jinguashi and Jiufen, from the perspective of history and culture, they are on par!

The “Shuinan Cave” in the Shuijinjiu area was managed by the same company as the Jinguashi mine during the Japanese colonial period. They were both managed by the Japanese. Many of the landscapes that have been preserved due to past mining operations are also related to each other!< /p>

The administrative division is divided into Shuinan Cave and Liandong River downstream of Guangguang Falls, and is divided into two li, “Liandong” and “Lianxin”. The west “Liandong” is related to Jinguashi during the Japanese occupation. The mining staff dormitory is a settlement developed by the Japanese, so it has a neat street layout. There are many Japanese development offices in the east, and the same is true!

The settlements developed by the Japanese had relatively neat plans, such as the differences between Jinguashi and Jiufen streets.

From the direction of the mountain to the sea, it is drawn from one to nine towns. Each town is a section, and each section is separated by long and narrow stairs.

“Liandongli” was a settlement developed at the foot of Keelung Mountain during the Japanese colonial period. From left to right, it is divided into nine towns separated by stone steps.

There are many commercial activities in Liandong, such as Zhizhao Coffee, Wanshiruyi, and about  Coffee.

The area of ​​”Lianxinli” is not as neatly planned as “Liandongli”. Although the name has the word “new”, it actually integrates the old settlements from the Qing Dynasty and the settlements related to the Changren Mine that were later occupied by the Japanese. , and in the 65th year of the Republic of China, in order to build the “Liyue Copper Smelting Plant” on flat land, Taijin Corporation moved some villages from the original “Lijia” here and integrated it.

Therefore, the history of “Lianxinli” is actually longer. The head of “Lianxinli” said that the locals of “Lianxinli” often say that there are four areas here: “Dongtou, Shipyard, Big Block” “Cuo, Sungkuzai.” These four blocks are actually the ancient names of this place.

Humanistic stories of ancient places and celebrities

Does “Shuinan Cave” mean the south of the water? Or does it mean “Shuilian Cave”?

Shuinan Cave, formerly Shuinan Cave, is a sea cave located next to the parking lot of Shuinan Cave. A stream flows from the mountain above the cave, forming a wetland swamp at the entrance of the cave, which is the south side of the water. The cave was later named Shuinan Cave.

The elder said that there used to be an unknown stream (named “Dongtou Creek” by the locals) that once flowed into the sea between the “Shuinandong Refinery Site” and the “Weiyuan Temple”. Before entering the sea, the entrance of the cave rose from the submarine orogeny to the road surface in an ancient period, forming a curtain of water. Therefore, the Taiwanese name for Shui-Nan Cave is “Shui-Nan Cave” where water pours at the entrance of the cave. During the Japanese colonial period, the cave was To allow for the construction of a complete area of ​​factories and facilities around the mining industry, the waterway of Dongtou Creek was changed, and the nameless creek was intercepted and diverted to other places. It is currently impossible to verify.

The cave of Shuinan Cave is on the mountainside directly above the current “Dockyard” bus stop.

Although many people take pictures of the thirteenth floor, few people will find that there is still a cave entrance where the Shuinandong settlement began. Where there is water, there will be settlements. This is how the “Dongtou” settlement of Shuinandong was formed. .
