Tianshengpi Station Introduction
Tiansongpi Station was established during the Japanese colonial period and was one of ten stations on the Taiping Mountain Forest Railway. It served as a major transfer station for transporting timber from the plains to the mountainous areas, while also providing passenger services for local residents. However, due to the decline of the forestry industry, the railway was discontinued and the other stations along the route were dismantled. Tiansongpi Station has been preserved in its original form at its original site. Today, the former grandeur is gone, and only the Japanese-style architecture and simple appearance remain, allowing visitors to experience the former bustling atmosphere of the station. The light blue Tiansongpi Station exudes a unique and tranquil ambiance, making it a filming location for the popular Taiwanese idol drama "Next Stop, Happiness," which has boosted tourism and attracted visitors for photos. It is now one of the popular attractions in Sanxing Township, Yilan. Although Tiansongpi Station is no longer prosperous and trains no longer pass through, its contributions during its operational days should not be erased. Therefore, it is worthwhile to visit this old station to learn about its history, or explore nearby scenic areas such as Changpi Lake and Qingshui Geothermal Park for a leisurely trip.
