One of the starting stations of the Alishan Forest Railway. The hinoki station house, built in 1912, is well preserved and is a landmark of Chiayi's forestry heritage.
Beimen Station is the Alishan Forest Railway station in downtown Chiayi City. The original station house was built in 1912 from Taiwan red cypress and is a county-level historic site. In front of the station are Beimen Station Plaza and a display of a steam locomotive. Within walking distance are Hinoki Village, Alishan Forestry Village, and Song of the Forest, which together form a forestry culture walking route through Chiayi City. Some Alishan little trains depart from here (most leave from Chiayi Station), and tickets must be booked online in advance. The exterior of the station can be viewed for free.
