An unstaffed halt on the Xuejia Line (學甲線), the Taiwan Sugar Corporation railway running west from Xinying Sugar Factory, closed along with the rest of the line when passenger service ended in 1979. It served the settlement of Waliao (瓦寮) in Xuejia, Tainan, where the tracks crossed Highway 174 (縣道174) before running back to the south of it. Only a concrete shelter remains, identical to the one at Dapiliao Station to the east.

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.
