Jingtong Station Introduction
Since Jiufen is the last stop on the Pingxi Line, it feels quieter compared to the bustling Shifen and Pingxi. The nearby Japanese wooden Jiufen Station exudes a strong nostalgic atmosphere, becoming a filming location for advertisements and movies, attracting many domestic and international travelers for photo opportunities. Travelers arriving on the swaying train first see the Jiufen Station, built in 1929, which was designated as a historical site in 2003. This station was once an important facility for transporting coal. Directly opposite the station, valuable mining relics remain—the coal-washing plant. Today, the tall washing plant has transformed into a café. While here, it’s a good idea to enjoy a cup of coffee and reflect on Jiufen's mining history. You can also visit the world's only lantern-shaped "Jiufen Electronic Lantern Museum" nearby, as well as the "Railway Story Museum," which is a must-visit for railway enthusiasts. Don't forget to write a wish on a bamboo tube, leaving a trace of your journey in Jiufen.
