Taiwan’s early land development led to an extensive railway system, with mountain lines, coastal lines, and branch lines that have left behind a wealth of railway history and culture. The following three natural railway landscapes are so breathtaking that even non-train fans will want to witness these train scenes in person.

1. Duoliang Station
Located in Taimali and hailed as the most beautiful train station in Taiwan, “Duoliang Station” boasts expansive ocean views and is beloved by both train enthusiasts and tourists. While waiting for a train on the platform, you’re greeted with an unobstructed view, and the red railings by the platform frame the backdrop of blue sea and sky — a simple yet pure, vast beauty that is unforgettable.

2. Miaoli Tongluo — Chrysanthemum Flower Sea
Taiwanese chrysanthemums come not only in white but also in yellow and purple, with pale yellow centers that are charming and cute. This enchanting sea of chrysanthemums is located in Tongluo, Miaoli. With the railway and trains in the background and the vibrant chrysanthemums in the foreground, during late autumn to early winter, the area even sees a “chrysanthemum snowfall,” attracting many visitors to Tongluo for flower viewing.

3. Miaoli Houlong — Haowangjiao
At Miaoli’s Houlong Haowangjiao, you can watch the coastal line trains pass by, resembling foreign electric multiple units — compact trains that slowly roll by at a leisurely pace. The nearby fields resemble the rural landscapes of Japan. Taking in the beauty of the railway from a distance offers another kind of charm.
