Tunnel 88 & Matsu Distillery
八八坑道
A wartime tunnel converted into a wine cellar, filled with aged kaoliang and old wine jars. The scent of liquor fills the air, and the Matsu Distillery is right next door.
Tunnel 88 is on Niujiao Ridge in Nangan. It was originally a wartime defensive tunnel. It got its name because it was completed in the year Chiang Kai-shek turned 88. It was later handed over to the Matsu Distillery to use as a liquor cellar. Inside, the tunnel keeps a steady temperature and humidity, and is lined with aged kaoliang and 'Laojiu' wine jars. Visitors can go inside and enjoy the strong scent of liquor. The neighboring Matsu Distillery sells Daqu, kaoliang, and Laojiu, and often offers tastings. Opening hours are about 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., but please follow the distillery's posted notices. Do not ride a bike after drinking.
