Duoliang Railway Station Introduction
Duolan Station, located on the slopes of the Southern Cross-Island Highway, was originally the site of the Paiwan tribe's "Dalatalan Community." During the Japanese colonial period, it was renamed "Dōdōran," and after the construction of the Southern Cross-Island Railway, it was simplified to "Duolan." Although train stops were discontinued in 2006 due to low passenger numbers, Duolan Station is still praised for its breathtaking geographical scenery, being nestled between mountains and the sea, and is regarded as the most beautiful station in Taiwan. Upon entering the Duolan Scenic Area, there is an observation deck on the second floor from which visitors can overlook the stunning view of the sea meeting the sky. One can also appreciate the spectacular sight of trains racing through the mountains. This has attracted many railway enthusiasts to pilgrimage here. In addition to the natural scenery, the area is surrounded by installation art, and every view creates beautiful memories! Not far above Duolan Station is the "Xiangyang Wooden Workshop," renovated from the abandoned Duolan Elementary School that had been idle for 10 years. Its aim is to create job opportunities in rural areas. Here, visitors can appreciate wooden art products and enjoy a variety of dishes and drinks. The large art installation "Wings of Angels" in the park is also a must-see.
