Minetopia Besshi Tohnal Zone

Often referred to as the Machu Picchu of the East, these plains can be found in the mountains at an altitude of 750 meters. Because the Besshi Mining headquarters were located here from 1916 to 1930, the area has the makings of a town, with company housing, an elementary school, and a reception building. There’s a large brick building still standing as well, and the Tohnal Historical Museum features exhibitions on the culture of the period and the Besshi copper mines.
