Dashan Station Introduction
The Dashan Station was opened on October 11, 1922, during the Taisho era (Taisho 11), and it was originally known as "Dashanjiao Station." The area was characterized by sand dunes suitable for cultivating watermelons. During the Japanese colonial period, the station mainly facilitated rice transportation. The exterior and interior architecture fully represent the social and historical context of that time. It is one of the few remaining hybrid wooden station buildings in Taiwan and a typical representative of small train stations during the Japanese colonial period. However, the steep gradient of the mountain railway at that time limited transportation efficiency. In light of this, the coastal railway was completed and opened to traffic on October 10, 1922 (Taisho 11).
