The main structure of Jiji Railway Station was built using pure cypress wood, giving it an exceptionally elegant and rustic appearance. At one point, operations were nearly suspended due to severe financial losses. However, thanks to the active efforts of the Jiji Township mayor, the station underwent greening and beautification, and a decommissioned train was acquired through applications and displayed in the plaza in front of the station for public viewing. Since then, Jiji Railway Station has gradually regained its vitality. After the 921 Earthquake caused serious damage to the station, it was quickly restored to its original state with donations from people across Taiwan. Additionally, a railway heritage exhibition hall was built next to the station, allowing visitors to better understand the development history of both the station and trains.
