A forest growing out of an old woodworking factory in Nantou.

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.
