Checheng
車埕
The terminus of the Jiji Line railway, preserving the old streets, log ponds, and wooden station of the timber era. Known as 'the most beautiful little station.'
Checheng lies in Shuili Township and is the terminus of Taiwan Railway's Jiji Branch Line. It is also the closest railway town to the west of Sun Moon Lake. It was once a center of forestry and logging. The Checheng log pond, the wood industry exhibition hall, and the wooden station have all been preserved. Old wooden houses are reflected in the lakeside waters, and the atmosphere is peaceful, earning it the nickname 'the most beautiful little station in Taiwan.' You can take the Jiji Line steam train from Ershui, passing through green-tunnel villages such as Jiji, or drive about 20 minutes from Sun Moon Lake. The local bento boxes and woodworking DIY activities are popular.
