Introduction

“Yingge Station” used to be the coal transfer hub in the past. Coal produced in Sanxia were loaded here and transported to other areas. The valuable relics of the coal transporting platform preserved until today can be seen in the station.

This section of “Yingge Station” was used to allow coal to be loaded directly onto freighters, and is the only surviving relic in Taiwan.

Nanzigou Biker Rest Stop

Originally the Nanzigou Pumping Station, which is located at the right bank of Dahan River and along the Nanzigou Cycling Route, was revamped partially into a biker’s rest stop offering cyclists a space to take a break. One can follow the signs and enter the Rest Stop from Shuangxikou Flood Prevention Pedestrian Bridge. The Rest Stop offers restroom, air pumping, and water refilling services. Entering the rest area indoor, one can also learn about the history and stories of Banqiao Nanzigou while taking a break.But! The most striking view has to be the 26m-tall and 18m-wide mural! Based on the world classic book The Little Prince, this wall painting of adorable Little Prince, fox, and rose are waiting for your arrival at planet B612!
