Alishan Railway Station is the terminus of the Alishan Forestry Railway, and also the starting point for the Alishan branch lines to Zhushan, Shouping, and Shenshu.
In the 1970s, due to a surge in tourists and lack of space in the Shouping area, construction began in August 1977 to expand the Alishan Forest Playground.
It was completed and officially put into use on January 11, 1981. It was called the "New Alishan Station" to distinguish it from the still-in-use Shouping old station.
The 921 Earthquake in 1999 turned the new station into a dangerous building and it was shut down, and the terminus of the main line returned to the Shouping station.
After 2003, to reduce the operational burden of the Shouping station, the Forestry Conservation Bureau built a temporary station next to the Alishan garage and rebuilt a new station on the original site after the disaster. The Alishan Station was officially completed and reopened in September 2007.
