Xinbeitou Station. During the Japanese colonial era, to develop the hot spring tourism industry in the Xinbeitou area, the Xinbeitou Branch Line was built, and the "Xinbeitou Stop" was established in 1916 (Taisho 5). During the Japanese colonial era, to develop the hot spring tourism industry in the Xinbeitou area, the Xinbeitou Branch Line was built, and the "Xinbeitou Stop" was established in 1916 (Taisho 5), later renamed "Xinbeitou Station." The place name Xinbeitou originated from this. Xinbeitou Station is the only remaining century-old station on the Tamsui Line, and even in Taipei City. The station building is made of wood, with carved brackets under the eaves and the 3+1 combination dormer windows created in 1937 due to station expansion, which are major features of the station's architecture. However, in 1988, the Tamsui Line was discontinued, and the station entered history, with its structure dismantled and moved to Taiwan Folk Village in Changhua. In 2003, with the rise of cultural heritage preservation awareness, the Taipei City Government and civil society groups worked together to bring the station back home. After several twists and turns, Rong Hwa Asset Co., Ltd., moved by the enthusiasm and anticipation of Taipei citizens for the station's return, agreed to donate Xinbeitou Station to the Taipei City Government's Department of Cultural Affairs free of charge. The station's relocation site was used in 2016 to simulate traffic issues with a mock-up, and finally, it was decided to be located in Qixing Park near the original site (as seen today). Restoration work then began and was completed in April 2017, reopening to the public. Source: Xinbeitou Station Official Website Address: 臺北市北投區新北投大業路 Hours: 00:00–23:59 Taipei
