 Miaoli Gongguan | CPC Chuhuangkeng Mine - the earliest oil mining site in Taiwan


The Chuhuangkeng used to be called the Chukuangkeng. Located in the mining village of Gongguan Township, Miaoli! It is the place where oil was first discovered in Taiwan. In fact, many people may not know it. Not necessarily going to this spot. After all, the names of Dahu and Tai'an are much louder than here, and many people pass by directly to the place they want to go. without stopping! The few who stayed were either to eat a popsicle or to borrow a toilet. In fact, there are not many tourists coming!


And our familiarity with it is relatively high. My grandpa's house is in a nearby village, and this is where I've heard big since I was a child. And the most important thing is that my mother went out from here. Grandpa used to work here before, and they used to live in this mountain. Later, I moved out to the township and urban area! Before, they really had to walk several kilometers to go to class. Even now the traffic in the mountains is still very inconvenient!


Basically, even so, we all have a hard time empathizing. Can't imagine what life was like in the past, how they persevered. Now the closer our school is, the easier it is to be late, but they have to go a long way and not be late.

The No. 1 ancient well of Chukuangkeng, the first well mined in that year!

To be honest, I don't remember the last time I walked up the railroad, but it must have been!

The dormitory of the past is still preserved here. I heard that there used to be a large bathhouse, and then a hairdresser and the like. There are some basic facilities that will satisfy the original staff! My mother can still remember where the location is, which is also very good. Here she may have images of her past come to mind!

But we never stay here too long. I don't think my family would particularly want to come, but at most they just came to eat a popsicle. Some people and things may be left in the memory, and there is no need to reproduce them again. I haven't been in the museum until now, hahaha!
