Taichung Line Earthquake Recovery Memorial碑 Introduction
If you take the train through Tai'an Station on the Mountain Line, keep an eye out the window and you will notice a "shell-shaped" structure standing by the railway. This is the "Taiwan Railway Taichung Line Earthquake Memorial." This memorial was established to commemorate the strong earthquake that occurred at dawn on April 21, 1935 (Showa 10) in the middle reaches of the Daan River. This earthquake brought unprecedented disaster to the government-operated Taichung Coastal Line at that time.
