At 2,451 meters elevation this is the highest railway station in Taiwan. It is the terminal station of the Zhushan Line (祝山線), a branch line off the old Alishan Forest Railway (阿里山森林鐵路) completed in 1986. It was built for tourism purposes, not forestry.

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.
