During the Xianfeng era of the Qing Dynasty, Hu Jie from Quanzhou, Fujian, came here to cultivate. The mine was flooded, causing countless casualties, hence the name "Wangkuang Pit" (Mine Pit of Death). During the Japanese colonial period, due to the unlucky name, it was changed to "Wanggu Pit." In 1972, a halt station was established to transport coal from the Qinghe Coal Mine, initially named Qinghe Station. As the mining industry declined, the bustling scene of miners coming and going gradually disappeared, hidden in the lush mountain forests. Today, occasional travelers alight here, all in search of Wanggu Waterfall. Address: 新北市平溪區望古里慶和橋 Hours: 00:00–23:59 New Taipei
