Jiji Railway Station

　　Jiji Railway Station is located in Jiji Township, Nantou County—a scenic town known for its railway culture. Originally built in 1919 during the Japanese colonial period, the station has a history of nearly a century and is one of the few remaining historic train stations in Taiwan, as well as one of the town’s most iconic attractions. In 2009, the station served as a filming location for the film "Do Over" produced by Taiwan Public Television Service Foundation. Every year, large numbers of tourists visit the site to experience scenes from the movie firsthand.

　　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.
