Chēchéng Station (車埕車站) is at the end of the Jíjí Railway Line (集集線) in Nantou, the most central division of Taiwan. Take a stroll south from the tourist traps that greet you when you disembark from the train and you will find a sprawling complex of abandoned buildings that serve as overflow parking for this tranquil mountain town. Inside the derelict factory, once devoted to lumber processing, one will now find a forest reaching toward the shattered sky.

Warning: this location is abandoned, hazardous, or otherwise neglected and may be unsafe and even dangerous! Exercise appropriate precautions when visiting.

警告：此處已廢棄或長期無人管理，可能存在潛在危險。造訪時請務必提高警覺，並做好相關安全防護措施。

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.
