Hayashida Police Station

A rare surviving pair of police stations from two eras, standing side by side in Fenglin: the wooden Hayashida Police Officers’ Station (林田警察官吏派出所) of the Japanese colonial era, and the reinforced-concrete station built next to it after the war. The older station served the Hayashida Immigrant Village (林田移民村), established in 1914 as the third of Hualien’s government-run Japanese immigrant villages, its police post set among the administrative buildings at the village center. Reused for a time as a small police exhibition hall, the buildings are now idle and undergoing assessment for restoration as of 2025.
