Originally named Taito Station (臺東驛) and established as the terminal station of the eponymous railway line on April 20, 1922. It closed on June 1, 2001, after it was replaced by the new Taitung Station to the north. The locomotive depot was designated a Taitung County Historical Building in 2002, and the station was converted to Taitung Railway Art Village (台東鐵道藝術村) in 2003.

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.
