Tourist attractions

• Shengxing Station, completed in 1905, is the highest station in Taiwan built along the "Old Mountain Railway". It was built entirely of wood, using no nails, and took five years to complete. The last train stopped at the station on 23 September 1987, because the steep route of the "Old Mountain Railway" could not accommodate the newer, larger trains. Nearby is a 726-meter train tunnel built in 1905. It has successfully withstood a large number of earthquakes, including the quake of 21 September 1999. At the tunnel entrance are some old troop barracks where during World War II local troops were stationed to protect the railway.
