⭐ Checheng Old Street Stroll
▼ Located in Shuili, Nantou, Checheng is the terminus of the Jiji Line of Taiwan Railways. Surrounded by mountains and water, its scenic mountain-town setting and nostalgic Japanese-era charm have earned it the title of "Taiwan's most beautiful train station." Once a thriving timber hub, it was nicknamed "Little Taipei," and today it still preserves its timber industry heritage and old-street character. Wander around the station, the log pond, and the forestry trail, browse the old street, and enjoy local snacks as you soak up the relaxed pace of mountain-town life.
▼ Stroll along the emerald-green log pond and enjoy mountain-town scenery of hills, greenery, and water birds. Walk the lakeside trail and feel the nostalgic, Japanese-style small-town atmosphere of Checheng.
▼ Every Saturday and national holiday at 11:00, don't miss the log-peeling show! The museum houses a 50-year-old rotary lathe. Step into the Timber Industry Exhibition Hall to experience the rich scent of wood and the timber heritage of Checheng.

It preserves early tea-making buildings and machinery, and its rustic atmosphere even served as a filming location for the drama Gold Leaf.

You'll also find limited-edition hand-picked high-mountain tea gift boxes, local fruit vinegars, tea-based treats, and regional specialties.
