A decommissioned police station along Chinan Road Sec. 5 (池南路五段) in the hills of northern Shoufeng, Hualien. It was likely abolished in the late 2000s but may have continued to be used as a dormitory for officers until other lodgings were completed elsewhere. The precise identity of the station is unknown; the name is inferred from the surrounding settlement as no identifying features are visible on Google Street View records going back to 2009. Although effectively abandoned there is nothing of interest on site.
