A former railway station on the Dodoka Line (哆哆咖線), an extension of the Alishan Forest Railway (阿里山森林鐵路) toward Dongpu in Nantou County. It was originally established around 1934 and named Kodama (兒玉) in honor of the fourth governor-general of Taiwan. It was renamed in the post-war era and continued to operate into at least the 1960s. Much of the line was converted into the New Central Cross-Island Highway (新中橫公路) in the 1970s but a length of track remains along Tefuye Trail (特富野古道), which operated as the Shuishan Line (水山線) from around 1941 to 1945.

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.
