Wanggu Station Introduction
Wanggu is an area in the Pingxi region that was settled relatively late. During the Qing Dynasty's Xianfeng period, a person from Quanzhou, Fujian named Hu Jie came here to cultivate the land. The mine was flooded, causing numerous casualties, thus earning the name "Wangankeng" (meaning "Lost Mine"). During the Japanese colonial period, due to the inauspicious name, it was renamed "Wanggu Pit." In 1972, a stop was established to transport Qinghe coal, initially named Qinghe Station. As the mining industry declined, the once bustling scene of miners coming and going gradually disappeared, blending into the lush mountains. Nowadays, the few travelers who get off here come in search of Wanggu Waterfall.
