Travel in Taichung: Tai'an Train Station & Metasequoia Forest

Travel Date: 2021/02/20

The main attraction in Tai'an is the Police Station, which is known for its abundance of cherry blossoms. However, there are also a few other places to visit, such as the Old Train Station and the Metasequoia Forest.

Tai'an Mountain Trail (泰安登山步道)

The Tai'an Mountain Trail is a hiking trail that offers beautiful scenery and views of the surrounding mountains. It's a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. 






Tai'an Old Station (舊泰安車站)

The Tai'an Old Station was in operation from December 1, 1910, to September 24, 1998. After the old mountain line was suspended on September 24, 1998, due to the switch to the new line, the station ceased to be in use. The old Tai'an station and nearby railway facilities, including tunnels, were cleaned up and opened to the general public for visiting, and it was named Tai'an Railway Cultural Park. Since June 5, 2010, the old mountain line has resumed its sightseeing trains, and after a 12-year hiatus, trains have once again entered the station.













Earthquate Restoration Monument (震災復興紀念碑)

The Earthquake Restoration Monument stands as a memorial to commemorate the recovery and resilience of the region following a devastating earthquake. It serves as a reminder of the strength and perseverance of the community in rebuilding after such a significant natural disaster. 



Metasequoia Forest (如光山寺水杉林)

Not far from Tai'an, you can also visit the Metasequoia Forest, also known as the Dawn Redwood ForestThese tall, deciduous trees are similar to bald cypresses and are known for their unique beauty. Unfortunately, they have become bald as well, haha.
