Keelung Liu Mingchuan Tunnel Closes for Bat Breeding Season
Posted on 2024-04-25 16:43:13
Keelung's Shiqiuling (獅球嶺) Tunnel will be closed to the public due to the Formosan leaf-nosed bat breeding season from May through September.
Starting May 1st, the tunnel will only be accessible through pre-scheduled group tours from Thursday to Sunday.
This decision, announced by the Keelung City Cultural Affairs Bureau, aims to protect the bats during this critical period and to ensure the preservation of the tunnel's ecological balance.
Additionally, the bureau will implement new signage to enforce quietness and restrict the use of flash photography and flashlights to minimize disturbances to the bats.
Public access is expected to resume after September, based on the ecological assessment of the bat population.
