In the 17th year of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1891), Liu Mingchuan built the first railway, the railway from Keelung to Taipei was opened to traffic, and at the same time the eight railway terminals were set up; during the Japanese occupation in the 30th year of Meiji (1897), the station body was partially rebuilt , But the internal structure still exists, and at the same time it was renamed "Qidouyi", a wooden station; in 1972, Qidu Parking Dispatching Yard and Qiduhou Station were opened, and the space of Qidu Railway Station was cut into front and rear by the dispatching station. There are two stations, so passengers traveling from the south to the north are diverted to the front and back stations for individual rides. In 2007, Qidu Station used the new station uniformly, and Qiduqian Station entered history. Since Qiduqian Station is a century-old wooden building, it preserves the past and present history of this station, and built a park to integrate into the station body, while retaining the original appearance intact. The space in the front station of Qidu Railway Station is relatively small, and there are not too many changes in the spatial movement. The shape of the roots becomes the characteristic of this type of small station. Generally speaking, the common root (roof) forms of Japanese-style stations include asymmetrical forms such as cut wife (two covered water), yodong (four covered water), and mother house (Xieshan). In front of Qidu Railway Station, there are two types of house roots, namely, cutting the wife and entering the mother’s house, and the house roots are characterized by asymmetrical forms.

After Qidu Station uses the new station, because Qiduqian Station is a century-old wooden building, the station itself is preserved and explanation boards are placed to explain the history. A park was built to integrate into the station body while retaining the original appearance. The clock next to the square, the numbers are reversed, which is quite interesting, you can pay attention to it

A wooden station building reminiscent of the good old days. It is well preserved, and when I approach it, it smells like cypress, which makes me a little happy.
