▲ The Rainbow Suspension Bridge spans 342 meters with a maximum height of 110 meters, making it the longest and deepest suspension bridge in Taiwan. Designed with 420 step-like platforms, it earns its "Rainbow" name from its vibrant color scheme – each 50-meter section features a different hue of the rainbow, creating a spectacular visual effect that resembles a rainbow arching across the mountain forest when viewed from afar.
▲ Jiji Railway Station is an ancient station built with cypress wood. Damaged by the 921 earthquake, the reconstructed station still retains its Japanese-style wooden exterior, making it one of the few remaining railway stations from the Japanese colonial era.
▲ The Shuanglong Waterfall, located at the end of the Rainbow Suspension Bridge, is the source of a tributary of the Zhuoshui River. Nestled among the mountains, the waterfall cascades down a steep cliff with a drop of about 100 meters, divided into upper and lower falls. Resembling two coiling dragons, it creates a spectacular scene with misty sprays and majestic grandeur.
▲ The wooden bucket bento is one of the distinctive meals at Checheng Station, served in a wooden bucket. After finishing the meal, you can take the bucket home and even personally stamp a pattern on the bucket lid.
▲ "The Elder Guardian of the Mountains" symbolizes the Bunun elders' role in the tribe as giant protectors of their people. It also represents the wisdom, experience, and skills passed down by ancestors, enabling harmonious coexistence with nature. Whether it's knowing when to sow millet, gather ingredients, or hunt without overexploitation—taking only necessary resources to allow the land to rejuvenate—this wisdom instills in future generations the concept of living in balance with nature.
▲ The wooden barrel can also be taken home, and you can personally brand a pattern on the barrel lid.
▲ After suffering severe damage from the 921 earthquake, it was reconstructed using logs by the Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area Administration. Even the open space in front of the station was paved with logs, making it highly distinctive. Currently, it is actively developing tourism, with plans to focus on promoting railway, electricity, timber, and winery industries as key drivers.
