A former station on the Alishan Line (阿里山線) of the Alishan Forest Railway at 1,711 meters elevation in Alishan, established in 1912 and operated as a switchback until Typhoon Morakot destroyed it in August 2009. When the upper line reopened in July 2024 the site was reduced to a block post where scheduled trains no longer stop. Only a small station house remains.

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.
