Shanli Station and Shanli Church Introduction
A small station that seems isolated from the world is nestled in a mountain village with about thirty to forty households. This seldom-known mountain station watches as the numbered trains rush by each day, and in the words of writer Liu Kexiang, it is a "legendary station that cannot be reached." The lonely and tranquil mountain station is surrounded by scattered farmland and continues to serve its daily few passengers even after the railway was electrified. The island platform inside the station retains its original style from before the expansion of the eastern railway, creating a serene and simple atmosphere that, along with the writer's articles, deeply attracts many travelers and railway enthusiasts to visit this beautiful little station. Nearby, the Sanli Church has a weathered white stone exterior and a roof topped with a timeworn red cross, marking the passage of time. Though this small church serves as the center of faith for the local community, its popularity has surged alongside that of the Sanli Station, turning it into a hotspot for tourists eager to take photos, adding a touch of lively ambiance to the quiet mountain village.
