Are you still planning where to go this weekend? Aside from the four old-fashioned stations The China Post has introduced, here is the list of another four must-visit stations you shouldn’t miss.
Tiansongpi railway station, located in Sanxing Township, Yilan County, was built in 1921. It was on the line of Taipingshan Forest Railway.
As the scene from popular Taiwanese drama series “Autumn’s Concerto,” Tiansongpi, featuring Japanese wooden architecture, has drawn thousands of visitors to take pictures.

Kaohsiung Cishan station, built from 1913 to 1915, is not in use anymore. It was listed as a historical building in Taiwan. The station features a western-style rooftop and Japanese-style interior design. The combination of eastern and western elements makes it look like a house in fairy tales.
老車站現已轉型為糖鐵故事館,內有展示蒸汽火車頭、珍貴文物,非常適合假日親子同樂。
The railway has been transformed into a story house, showcasing the steam locomotive heads and cultural relics. It’s one of the best places for family to travel on weekends.
