Shanli Station and Shanli Church Introduction
Like a small train station isolated from the world, it is situated in a mountain village with only 30 to 40 households, and is rarely known to others. This mountain station watches as designated trains roar past every day, and in the words of writer Liu Ke-xiang, it is a "legendary station that cannot be reached." The lonely and tranquil mountain station is surrounded by a few scattered farmlands. Even after the railway electrification, it still serves a small number of daily passengers. The island platform in the station retains the style from before the expansion of the East Line Railway. Its serene and simple atmosphere, combined with the writer's articles, attracts many travelers and railway enthusiasts to visit this beautiful little station. Nearby, the Sanli Church features an exterior of weathered white stone walls, with a roof topped by a time-worn red cross, depicting the passage of time. This small church serves as the center of faith for the local community. With the popularity of Sanli Station, the church standing in the village has become a hotspot for tourists eager to take photos, bringing a lively vibe to the quiet mountain village.
