| Zhaoping Branch Line 

Zhaoping Station was first built in 1914. It was originally the terminal station of the mountain main line and the starting point of various logging sites during the early logging period.
Zhaoping Station underwent two reconstructions, with the newest station opening officially on April 21, 2013.

With a concrete structure on the first floor and a wooden structure on the second, Zhaoping Station has a unique charm. It was designed with the image of the old Alishan wooden car shed in mind and was built with Japanese wooden construction techniques to showcase the advantages of wooden materials and the feasibility of using modern wood techniques, embodying the retro Japanese railway splendor.
Zhaoping Station not only functions as a railway station but also integrates arts, performances, indigenous cultural merchants, amongst other multifunctions, providing travelers another way to appreciate the art of railway.

｜The Five Wonders of Alishan

The Alishan mountain range is one of Taiwan’s five major mountain ranges, and Alishan does not refer to a single mountain but broadly to this mountainous area; historically rich in red cypress and Hinoki cypress, it has been Taiwan’s largest logging site since 1912 until the late 1960s. After logging by the Japanese and the Nationalist government, the original Hinoki forests were almost completely harvested; today, nearly forty giant red cypress trees remain accessible via the first and second phase trails, a solemn reminder of the majestic past. Among them, the tallest "Alishan Xianglin Sacred Tree" stands 45 meters high with a girth of 12.3 meters and an estimated age of about 2300 years, making it a must-visit in Alishan. ▲ Travel reference: Must-visit attractions in Chiayi [Alishan Forest Recreation Area], covering international tourism hotspots on a one-day Alishan tour!
