An old railway station between Hualien and Ji’an established in 1910. This station served as a transfer point for the Taitung Line (台東線), Hualien Port Line (花蓮臨港線), and Lanshan Forest Railway (嵐山森林鐵路). It was abolished in 1982 and the station house was heavily damaged in a typhoon and later cleared away. In 2018 the city constructed an ersatz reproduction to commemorate the station, but the design has nothing to do with the original.

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.
