Itinerary
Fangliao → Taitung route: Fangliao Station – Jialu Station – Dawu Station – Taimali Station – Taitung Station
- Duration: about 3 hours (see the train timetable for detailed stop times)
- Jialu Station – the biggest little station
Jialu is the only station in Taiwan with a helipad. It is a tiny station with a huge forecourt marked with a large "H", earning it the nickname "the biggest little station" among railway fans. Special arrangement: a short guided introduction to Jialu Station. - Taimali Station
In the Paiwan language, Taimali ("Ja.Bau.Li") means "the place where the sun rises", and the station became famous for its New Year sunrise. Step out of the station and a long, straight, wide avenue opens up before you with a stunning view, as if it runs straight into the Pacific. From every angle the sea seems to sit higher than the land, making it a popular Instagram spot in Taitung.
※ Special arrangement: activities on the platform and the station forecourt, and photos of the beautiful sea view from Sunrise Boulevard.
Taitung → Fangliao route: Taitung Station – Jinlun Station – Dawu Station – Fangshan Station – Fangliao Station
- Duration: about 3 hours (see the train timetable for detailed stop times)
- Jinlun Station
A small local station on the South Link Line where you can see the Pacific right from the platform. The station sits in an indigenous community; just outside are Jinlun's hidden beach and St. Joseph's Church, which incorporates indigenous culture. The beach, the church and Jinlun Bridge are classic photo spots for many Instagrammers!
※ Special arrangement: a guided walk around St. Joseph's Church, led by members of the seven indigenous communities along the Jinlun River, for a deeper look at local tribal culture and life.
※ In case of force majeure such as Taiwan Railway train dispatching or natural disasters, the Jinlun walk will be adjusted according to the train's actual arrival. We apologize for any inconvenience. - Dawu Station
Originally a station where you could gaze at both mountains and sea from the platform, its platform and building use a crisscross of blue and black: black for Dawu Mountain, blue for the ocean. Built to follow the terrain, with arched windows, a spiral staircase and a high-ceilinged waiting hall, it stands on the hillside like an upscale villa. Under Taiwan Railway's South Link Line station renovation program, the station's exterior facilities and surrounding landscape have been remodeled. Special arrangement: a short guided introduction to Dawu Station. - Fangshan Station
Taiwan's southernmost station, an orange-and-white building tucked into the hills and surrounded by mountains and sea. The forecourt opens onto a sweeping view that takes in the full beauty of the Taiwan Strait. Few trains stop at Fangshan, and the weathered traces of time can be seen everywhere; walking the near-deserted platform, you can truly feel the stillness of this hidden station.
※ Exclusive to Breezy Blue passengers – with ample time to take in the hidden scenery.
