Jinxi Station Introduction
Pinglin is a well-known tea town in northern Taiwan, rich in natural resources. There is a historical site called "Jinxi Police Station" from the Japanese colonial period, which is now a police station and has a history of over a century. It is a must-visit attraction for every tourist who comes to appreciate the fish and ferns along the Jinguanyao Creek Trail. During the Japanese occupation, in order to maintain public order, collect taxes, and monitor dissenters, the Japanese established a police station here, which has now been standing for over a century. The Jinxi Police Station has transformed into a private residence, with the main entrance slightly shifted to the left, while the stone bricks, black tiles, and architectural style still retain the original Japanese flavor, presenting a rustic yet exquisite appearance, and one can still feel the imposing atmosphere reminiscent of the former police station.
