Big landslide rips through roof of closed Yuanshan bowling alley
Big landslide rips through roof of closed Yuanshan bowling alley
2026-06-29
Last week’s days of downpours dampened moods and destroyed infrastructure, including a bowling alley in Yuanshan that had part of its roof crushed by a landslide last night. The bowling alley closing down a couple weeks ago was a blessing in disguise, because the building was vacant, yet the landslide also didn’t spare local hiking trails, which could be permanently closed for safety’s sake.
There’s an enormous hole in the roof of this bowling alley in Taipei’s Yuanshan District. A massive landslide of rocks and trees hit the building’s roof, resulting in the ceiling’s steel frames being exposed to the light of day as well as some bowling lanes suffering damage.

When you’re here in-person, you can see how the trees and boulders punctured a hole in the ceiling of the bowling alley. There’s also pieces of concrete strewn about this startling scene.
Due to a days-long stretch of heavy rains, on June 28 at night a shallow landslide weighing around 400 tons punctured a hole in the building’s ceiling, causing damage to about 10 square meters of the building. Yet, as fate would have it, the bowling alley closed down half a month ago, and so no one was inside when the landslide hit. Despite there being no injuries or casualties, the owner was visibly emotional about the situation.

It’s fortunate that we closed down, because on Sunday nights there’d be so many people inside, so if something like this were to happen during business hours… Right now I’ll be handling clean-up of the wreckage, but the building’s future is out of my hands.
On Monday morning, a team from Taipei City’s Geotechnical Engineering Office visited the site, doing an on-site inspection that included the building’s interior and exterior as well as the mountain behind the bowling alley. They discovered the gully erosion, which is due to high soil water content levels, and social trails created decades ago have been eroded. With the ground’s foundation suspended in mid-air, future landslides could happen at any time. Fortunately, the landslide hit the bowling alley, as this large landslide could’ve tumbled down onto Zhongshan North Road.

The entire area of the landslide is about 30m wide by 60m long, which is about 1,800 square meters. The slope of the landslide area is pretty steep, so the removal process might take some time. Our preliminary estimation is that we hope to be able to get it done within two weeks.
The hiking trails near the bowling alley have been cordoned off, and it’s feared that they won’t be re-opened to the public in the future. Despite the landslide area no longer being on bedrock, meaning the area’s situation is more stable, the city’s Geotechnical Engineering Office isn’t taking any chances, as it will continue to send out engineers to monitor the area.

一片狼藉! 連日大雨釀"百顆碎石掉落" 砸穿圓山保齡球館
2026-06-29
連日豪大雨，造成災情!台北在地經營超過60年的圓山保齡球館，半個月前無預警歇業，昨天(28日)晚間，因為球館後方山坡地，土壤含水量過高，早期民眾私自建立的步道被侵蝕，導致上百顆70公分到一米大的淺層岩碎掉落，砸中球館天花板，所幸因為停業，沒有任何人員傷亡。
保齡球館裡，天花板破了一個大洞，鋼筋裸露，巨大的土石碎屑跟樹木，全都砸到球館裡，球道也被損毀，畫面怵目驚心，圓山保齡球館驚傳遭坍方落石襲擊，成了受災戶。

“實際來到現場，可以看到整個大樹還有巨石，是砸穿了保齡球館的天花板，現在地面上滿是水泥碎屑，情況怵目驚心。”
28號晚間，因為連日來的大雨侵襲，造成保齡球館後方，淺層岩碎崩落，總計約400公噸，就這樣砸中天花板，球館受損面積大約10平方公尺，所幸球館半個月前宣布停業，館內空無一人，才沒有釀成傷亡，但看在業者心裡，還是覺得心痛又難過。

“還好停業了，禮拜天晚上人很多，萬一如果營業是發生事情了。(現在)先把這些災情先處理，未來我沒辦法(做主)。”
29號一早，大地工程處的技師人員，也到場勘查，把球館裡裡外外以及後方山坡地巡視一遍，發現有溝狀侵蝕，這下真相大白，因為大雨讓土壤含水量高，早期民眾私自建立的步道被侵蝕，地基都已經懸空，隨時可能崩塌，恰好是落在保齡球館內，否則大片土石滑落，恐怕會直衝中山北路。

“整個崩塌的面積，大約是30×60左右，就是大約1800平方公尺。整個邊坡滑落的情況，因為比較陡峭，所以可能需要(清理修復)的時間，大約我們預估希望可以兩個禮拜內。”
球館旁上山步道，就怕危險緊急封閉，未來恐怕不再開放，雖然崩塌處已經露出岩盤，狀況比較穩定，但工務局仍不敢大意，持續派人在現場觀測。
