"For a truly unique cafe experience that fuses industrial history with modern indulgence, Lianyungang in Jiangsu welcomes visitors to enjoy coffee deep within a mountain mine, accessed via a thrilling mine cart ride. Footage captured on Sunday shows the Mine Cafe in northeastern China, which offers an adventurous start to the visit. Customers wear helmets and board a miniature mine cart once used by miners navigating the underground tunnels. "One feels a sense of adventure, a spirit of exploration, and is transported back to that year of 1956," explained one customer. Gu Xin, Chief and Planner of Mine Cafe, shared that his vision for the cafe stemmed from a desire to showcase the historical documents of the Jinping Phosphate Mine, the country's first chemical mine and his childhood hometown. "The little train we ride today enters a horizontal tunnel that once served two essential functions during the operational period of the Jinping Phosphate Mine," Gu said explaing, "We’ve transformed this space into a small train ride, allowing visitors to experience the former mining production process first-hand." The journey through the illuminated, rugged passageways heightens anticipation, providing insight into the site’s historical significance. The clatter of the cart on the tracks echoes through the cavern, providing an authentic and thrilling beginning to the visit. At the heart of the mountain lies the destination, a warmly lit cafe carved into the rock, creating a striking contrast between the rugged stone walls and the inviting, modern ambiance inside."
