A small sugar railway station was constructed here in 1911. It provided passenger service until 1982 and freight service until 1998. The wooden station was demolished in 2001, leaving only the tracks and a small clearing, but it was later rebuilt as part of a rural-themed amusement park. It is also known simply as Bantou Station (板頭車站).

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.
