A station on the Alishan Line (阿里山線) of the Alishan Forest Railway at approximately 2,000 meters elevation in Alishan, established in 1912 and known in Tsou as Hehesiana. Typhoon Morakot badly damaged the roadbed here in August 2009 and the station remained out of service until July 2017. The name is frequently miswritten with the character for the ping (坪), a unit of area, an error that dates back to the Japanese colonial era.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
