Everything tagged: japanese tunnel

This one is near the YMCA. I'll get some photos off my friend who took loads when we went there a couple of weeks ago. In Pretty good condition but with a few hideously ugly centipedes inside.

This is the first tunnel we found on Lamma. A lot of earth has washed into this tunnel, something we also noted on the other Lamma tunnels. The vegetation is quite sparse on the hillsides, much less than on HK island, and perhaps that's one reason for all the debris getting washed into the tunnels.

Just up the HK trail from Mt Parker Rd. About 30m up past H059 Marker. It lead all the way under the trail itself.

There about 10 tunnels with fox holes around this small area. Most are blocked up, but there are two that lead into big caverns. However the tunnels have a 10 foot drop to get in!

Two tunnels close together. One small one with a dead end about 4m deep. The other leads around the hil to annother exit.

Nothing very exciting to see, but interesting because it's the first we've seen on the Western side of the island. I wonder if the Japanese built more tunnels where they had experienced the worst fighting, or whether there are more on the western side of the island that just haven't been seen yet.

I remembered this from over 10 years ago. I didn't know what it was then, but remember a tunnel cut straight back into the hill. I didn't go in, but I didn't see any turnings or branches from the entrance, so I think it was one of the simple hiding-place tunnels.

It is about 300m from the start of the Hong Pak trail off Mt Parker Rd.

I've seen a Japanese Tunnel here just up from the shoreline.
