Ruifang Train Station

The Ruifang Train Station was officially established in May of the 8th year of Taisho (1919 AD) with the opening of the Badu to Ruifang section of the Yilan Line railway. Currently, it remains a crucial transfer hub for accessing the Golden Mountain City (Shuinandong, Jinguashi, and Jiufen), coastal fishing villages (Ruibin, Nanya, and Bitoujiao), and the Pingxi Line, also known as the "Black Gold Railway." After 2013 (Minguo 102), the long-awaited Shen'ao Branch Line resumed operations from Platform 3, transforming from a mining-era station back into a tourist-oriented station. Ruifang Train Station consistently ranks among the top thirty in Taiwan Railways' operational performance, primarily due to its revival driven by cultural and tourism development.
