This old railway station still retains a sense of age.

Bao’an Station (保安車站) was established in Rende, Tainan, in 1909, primarily to serve the transportation needs of the nearby sugar factory. It was originally named Cheluqian Station (車路墘停車場) but was renamed for a local temple in 1962. The wooden station house is more than a century old and still in use today. Despite being only a small station an average of more than 2,700 passengers disembark daily, largely because of the proximity to nearby tourist attractions such as the aforementioned sugar factory and Chimei Museum.

The nameplate is probably much more recent, but this simple station is still looking pretty great all things considered.
