Checheng Visitor Center. 【A Revitalized Schoolhouse, Xuehaitang】This isn't just any visitor center; it's a "Railway Tourism Elementary School" filled with childhood memories. 【A Revitalized Schoolhouse, Xuehaitang】This isn't just any visitor center; it's a "Railway Tourism Elementary School" filled with childhood memories. Formerly the abandoned Checheng Elementary School, it has been meticulously revitalized by the Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area Administration. The original appearance of the school gate and the rostrum has been preserved, transforming the old school building, "Xuehaitang," into a visitor center serving travelers. The exterior maintains the simplicity and order of a school, but the campus holds a surprise – a giant, real locomotive (R100 series - R114) and a Blue Train carriage (35SPK32700 series) have been brought onto the playground, with the rostrum converted into the most distinctive waiting pavilion. The blend of old and new makes this place both a transportation hub and a heartwarming space that awakens everyone's elementary school days.
【A Nostalgic Tour of the Last Train Station】After checking in at the "Elementary School," follow the path inward to enter the real secret garden – the last train station – Checheng Station. Within the Checheng area, you'll find a mirror-like log pond, where the cypress trees and overhead cranes are reflected on the water, creating Checheng's most dreamlike scenery. The adjacent Wood Industry Exhibition Hall exudes a rich cypress fragrance, allowing you to experience the joy of woodworking DIY firsthand. Finally, don't forget to enjoy a bento box served in a wooden bucket on the old street and chase trains at the terminus of the Jiji Line. From the elementary school building
