The "forgotten" town - Che Yu Taiwan Railway has four branch lines, Pingxi line, Jiji line, Shalun line, Neiwan line, Jiji railway branch line is the longest branch line of Taiwan Railway, also is Nantou County The only railway line in operation. The line extends from Ershui Township in Nantou County to the rut. Cars This "forgotten" town is a place that friends who like railways must not miss. As the last stop of the Jiji branch, it is known as the "most beautiful station". The town surrounded by mountains has been very busy with the transportation of timber. Many wood processing factories have been built. Nowadays, with the decline of the logging industry, it has also been reduced. The factory has already been converted into a tourist facility. Since the Jiji branch line is a separate line from the Taiwan Railway network and goes deep into the mountainous area of central Taiwan, even if there are many tourists going to Sun Moon Lake, there are very few special trips here. The only batch of guests in the town every day are followed. The sightseeing train of the gathering line arrived on time, and the time disappeared without a trace, and the coldness seemed to be the world of dreams. The town was originally called the "car park". It is the meaning of the parking lot in the Minnan dialect. Due to the pronunciation, it was later called the rut. A yellow train was parked on the square, along with a water tower and a coal loading platform. In the tourist center not far away, you can store your luggage and get tourist information, and there is a lot of railway knowledge in the exhibition center in front of the station. Originally the export warehouse of Zhenchang Wood, after the 921 earthquake, it was converted into a shopping street, named "Linban Road", where there are paper stations, tunnels, small trains, etc.
