Description of Our Community: The scope of “Railway express-railway journey in the northern Taiwan” consists of the railway tracks that are north of Tsu-Shei brooks to north of I-Lan. They include Trunk Line, Ping-Shi Line, Nei Wan Line and Bei-Yi line. If someone departs from the Taipei Main station, all of the spots are reachable within one day on train. The five routes that we recommend have their own characteristics and specialty. The m route has Bei-Yi line, Ping-Shi line and Trunk Line intersect here to form a busy railway network. Meanwhile, the m line goes through the tourist spots that have the most waterfalls, mountains, old streets, harbors and coalmines in Taiwan. The r route has Nei-Wan line and Trunk Line intersect. The former line is the route for transporting wood, cement and glass, the latter has the spectacular coastal line view of Trunk Line and old train stations. The h route has the northern mountain line and coastal line of Trunk Line intersect. There are the light and signage hall, the Railway Museum, ancient stations from Japanese colonial period and other special spots along the route. The y route has the southern mountain line of Trunk Line, the costal line and Cheng-Chui line intersect. The rare Chang-Hua fan-shape motor warehouse and Chei-Gen and Jih-Nan petite stations are spots that are worth seeing. The b route has the abandoned old mountain line from the last century and Trunk Line intersect. Tai-An, Sheng-Hsing are particular spots with originality. The new Tai-An station, Tung-Lo and Hou-Li have the individual architectural characteristics and township personality.
Project Description: “Railway express-railway journey in the northern Taiwan” is a website for showing teenagers how to take train journeys and how to choose train stations and local scenery. Taking trains is the most convenient and safest vehicle for traveling for teenagers to conduct fieldwork in the country or to travel in groups. However, only a few railway travel books in the market were designed specifically to meet teenagers’ needs in the past. Based on the our own outdoor traveling experiences in the northern Taiwan in the past three to four years, we have “invented” 5 railway routes, namely m, r, h, y and b. After traveling extensively, we have also selected an average of 4 to 5 stations on every route and used “one special scenery per station” as the theme. We will emphasize the unique experiences we had to come up with some creative notions for visiting every station and ideas on how to do fun railway traveling. On the other hand, we will also summarize interesting and refreshing ideas regarding architecture specialty, local interests, history and customs.
