Chishan Station - Sugar Rail Story Museum Introduction
Qishan Railway Station was built between 1913 and 1915 during the Japanese era, with its architectural style often referred to as "pseudo-Western architecture." This architectural form was introduced to Taiwan by Japanese architectural students and blends Japanese, Victorian, and Gothic styles, resulting in a charming and elegant appearance. The entire building presents a lively and rhythmic aesthetic. Its light blue exterior is quite enchanting, attracting tourists who eagerly take photos with the station, making it the most famous landmark in Qishan. The railway station ceased operations in 1978 and was later restored to become a popular tourist attraction, now offering services such as tourist information, banana-themed creative products, and bicycle rentals.
