[Route] The southern section of the longitudinal line [Level] Simple Station [Front and back stations] Nanjing→Daxi→Xinying 【Facilities】Public toilets [Nearby public establishments and businesses] Bus station, 711, bicycle rental 【Brief Comment】 On the back wall is the few remaining Japanese-style stations of Taiwan Railways. In the past, there was even a light rail track leading to Guanzailing (not the kind of light rail you can imagine now). This wooden station is small, with a clean white appearance, a stone-washed base, vintage wooden benches and chairs, and a peaceful atmosphere. Here, it seems that all time is still, still at the simplest and most beautiful time. In front of the Houbi Station, there are four statues. They are not praising a great national man, but are telling the happy life of the local peasants who are "happy even without rice." These individuals are the Kun Binbo, Huang Mingbo and Wen Linbo in the documentary "Wu Mi Le", as well as a cow, which symbolizes the most charming daily life in rural Taiwan.

Since 1903 Rebuilt in 1943 The station level is Type A simple station It is a rare wooden station in Taiwan! After visiting the old street, you can stop by here to have a look and put a commemorative badge The longitudinal road ahead is the only way to go to other towns Take a photo by the way Watch this wooden railway station that has been standing for more than a hundred years

This station is small and cute. Compared with some major cities, which are developing towards underground railways, the Tainan City Government should give 100 points of encouragement to the protection of old cultural assets. The MRTs in every city are the same. After the railways are underground, the difference between the cities is the difference of the "station name and signboard". Compared with these railway stations in Tainan, it is worth learning from other counties and cities. A station worth visiting
