Dshan Station Introduction
Dashan Station was opened on October 11, 1922, during the Taisho era and was originally called "Dashanjiao Station," situated near sand dunes suitable for cultivating watermelons. During the Japanese occupation, this station primarily facilitated the transportation of rice. The architectural exterior and interior reflect the historical and social context of the time, making it one of the few surviving wooden station buildings that blend Japanese and Western styles in Taiwan. It is a representative example of small railway stations from the Japanese occupation period. However, due to the steep gradient of the mountain line railway, transportation efficiency was limited. In response, the coastal railway was completed and opened for service on October 10, 1922 (Taisho 11).
