Dashan Station Introduction
Dashan Station was opened on October 11, 1922, during the Taisho era, originally known as "Dashanjiao Station," situated near sand dunes that were suitable for cultivating watermelons. During the Japanese colonial period, this station primarily facilitated the transportation of rice. The architectural appearance and interior of the station fully reflect the historical context of that era. It is one of the few remaining hybrid wooden station buildings in Taiwan, representing a typical small railway station from the Japanese colonial period. However, the steep gradients of the mountain line railway limited transportation efficiency. In light of this, the coastal railway was completed and opened for operation on October 10, 1922 (Taisho 11).
