Jinxi Station

金溪駐在所外觀

Pinglin is a well-known tea town in northern Taiwan, which not only boasts rich natural resources but also quietly records the cultural stories of the area through its ancient houses. During the Japanese occupation, in order to maintain public order, collect taxes, and monitor the local population, the Japanese established a police station here, which has a history of over a hundred years. The former Jinxi Police Station has now been transformed into a private residence, with the main entrance slightly shifted to the left, while the stone bricks, black tiles, and architectural style still maintain the original Japanese flavor—simple yet elegant—allowing visitors to faintly sense the imposing atmosphere that once characterized the police station. The Jinxi Police Station is located next to the Jinxi No. 1 Bridge, with a sign stating "Former Police Station from the Japanese Colonial Era" at the entrance of the alley, and can be accessed by entering from the side of the Jinxi No. 1 Bridge.

Jinxi Station Introduction

Pinglin is a renowned tea-producing area in northern Taiwan. Not only does it boast abundant natural resources, but it is also home to the "Jinxi Police Station," which dates back to the Japanese colonial period. This historical site has a history of over a century and is a must-visit spot for tourists who come to enjoy fishing and fern-viewing along the Jinqualiao River Trail. During the Japanese rule, a police station was established here for maintaining public order, collecting taxes, and monitoring dissent among the populace, marking its significance over the past hundred years. The Jinxi Police Station has now transformed into a private residence, with the main entrance slightly shifted to the left, yet its stone bricks, black tiles, and architectural style still retain the original Japanese aesthetic—simple yet elegant—allowing visitors to faintly sense the once-imposing atmosphere of the former police station.
