A small stop on the Alishan Forest Railway (阿里山森林鐵路) at 1,534 meters elevation in Alishan, established in 1912. It is located in a Tsou Indigenous settlement called Sʉaʼfʉnʉ and historically acted as a transit point for local communities and lumber crews before the Alishan Highway diverted most traffic. The line was severed by Typhoon Morakot from August 2009 to September 2017, leaving Shizilu as the temporary terminus until through service to Alishan was restored in July 2024. A small café and visitor center opened beside the station as part of a community redevelopment program during the long suspension.

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.
