Taichung Railway Station (Old Station) Introduction
Taichung Station is located 193 kilometers and 252 meters from Keelung Station, making it the largest station in central Taiwan and the center of the West Coast Main Line. The new station building is situated in the Xinjhuangli area of East District, where there are multiple highway bus and national highway passenger transport operators, creating a fast and convenient transportation network. Opened on May 15, 1905, the entire West Coast Main Line was completed on April 1, 1908, and a ceremony to celebrate the completion was held on October 24 of the same year at Taichung Park. In 1995, the Ministry of the Interior designated Taichung Station as a second-level historic site in the Taichung and Fujian region (which was later classified as a national historic site after amendments to the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act), preserving this historically and architecturally significant train station.
