Chiayi Attractions

祝山

Due to its prominent terrain and broad views, every sunrise bathes the area in countless rays of light, combined with the sea of clouds formed in the valleys, creating a spectacular sight. Many tourists travel long distances just to witness this breathtaking scene. During the Japanese colonial period, Zhu Mountain was already an important spot for watching sunrises, though at that time, access was limited to walking trails leading up to Zhu Mountain and Daga Mountain. Starting in 1971, the Forestry Bureau opened Zhu Mountain Forest Road to replace the original narrow path, but due to conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians, as well as pollution, a railway was constructed in May 1984 to control vehicle access. Since the Zhu Mountain line railway operates only in the early morning and rushes back down after sunrise, it is the highest train station in Taiwan and the earliest commuting station in the country!

Zhushan (Station and Surrounding Area) Introduction

Due to its prominent terrain and wide field of vision, at sunrise, countless rays of light scatter across the ground, creating a magnificent spectacle along with the sea of clouds formed in the valley. Many visitors travel from afar to witness this breathtaking scene. During the Japanese rule period, Zhu Mountain was already an important spot for watching the sunrise; however, at that time, it could only be accessed via pedestrian paths leading to Zhu Mountain or Daka Mountain. Starting in 1971, the Forestry Bureau opened the Zhu Mountain Forest Road, replacing the original narrow paths. However, due to conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians and pollution from exhaust fumes, a railway was built in May 1984 to regulate vehicle traffic. Since the Zhu Mountain Line operates only in the early morning and must quickly descend after sunrise, it is the highest railway station in Taiwan and also the earliest station for commuting in the country!
