Qishan Station - Sugar Rail Story Museum Introduction
The Qishan Railway Station was built between 1913 (the 2nd year of the Taisho era) and 1915 (the 4th year of the Taisho era). The architectural style of the station is often referred to as pseudo-Western architecture, a form brought to Taiwan by Japanese architecture students. It blends Japanese, Victorian, and Gothic styles, resulting in a design that is both elegant and charming, presenting a relaxed and lively rhythm. The light blue exterior is very appealing, attracting tourists who eagerly take photos with the station, making it the most well-known landmark in Qishan. The railway station ceased operations in 1978 (the 67th year of the Republic of China) and, after restoration, has become a famous tourist attraction in Qishan, now offering services such as tourism information, banana-themed creative products, and bicycle rentals.
