Dashan Station Introduction
Dasyan Station was inaugurated on October 11, 1922 (Taisho 11), originally named "Dasyan Jiao Station." The surrounding sand dunes were suitable for growing watermelons. During the Japanese colonial period, this station primarily facilitated rice transportation. The architectural exterior and interior reflect the social historical background of the time, making it one of the few remaining wooden station buildings in Taiwan that exhibit a blend of Japanese and Western styles. It is a representative example of a small railway station from the Japanese colonial period. However, due to the steep gradients of the mountain line railway, the efficiency of transportation was limited. In view of this, the coastal railway was completed and commenced operation on October 10, 1922 (Taisho 11).
