Zhushanyan (Station and Its Surroundings)

Chiayi Attractions

祝山

Due to its prominent terrain and wide view, every sunrise, countless rays of light spread across the ground, combined with the sea of clouds formed in the valley, creating a wonderful spectacle. Many tourists travel great distances just to catch a glimpse of the breathtaking scene at dawn. As early as the Japanese colonial period, Zhu Mountain was an important spot for sunrise viewing, but at that time, visitors could only ascend Zhu Mountain or Doi Ka Yue via trails. Starting in 1971, the Forestry Bureau opened the Zhu Mountain Forest Road to replace the previous narrow path, but due to conflicts between people and vehicles, and air pollution, a railway was constructed in May 1984 to regulate vehicle access. Since the Zhu Mountain Line only operates in the early morning and hastily descends after sunrise, it is the highest railway station in Taiwan and the earliest commuting station in the country!

Zhushanyan (Station and Its Surroundings) Introduction

Due to its prominent terrain and wide vistas, every dawn, myriad rays of light illuminate the ground, complemented by the sea of clouds formed in the valley, creating a magnificent spectacle. Many tourists travel long distances just to catch a glimpse of this breathtaking scene as the light suddenly appears. As early as the Japanese colonial period, Zhu Mountain was an important sunrise viewing spot, but at that time, access was limited to hiking paths leading up to Zhu Mountain or Dagu Mountain. In 1971, the Forestry Bureau opened Zhu Mountain Forest Road to replace the original narrow paths. However, due to conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians and pollution issues, a railway was built in May 1984 to regulate vehicle entry and exit. Since the Zhu Mountain Line only operates in the early morning, passengers hurriedly descend after sunrise, making it the highest train station in Taiwan and the earliest commuting station in the country!
