崎頂子母隧道鐵道文化園區 Qiding Twin Tunnels Cultural Park
有綠蔭夾道的舊鐵道以及緊鄰的兩座隧道，因為一長一短所以被稱為「子母隧道」。二戰時曾因美軍戰機追擊日軍的運輸火車，在隧道口磚牆上留下清晰可見的彈痕，是許多鐵道迷、懷舊迷深愛的場景。
With green shade on either side and two closely located tunnels, it is called the “Twin Tunnels” due to one tunnel being longer than the other. There are visibly clear bullet riddled brick walls in the tunnel entrance from American fighter planes pursuit of Japanese transport trains during WW II. It is a favorite site of many fans of railway and nostalgia buffs.
