🌿 A railway journey through time: Qiding Station and Zimu Tunnel, a slow afternoon walk

#5月好去处2025 If you also like the forgotten corners of Taiwan, railways, and the mysterious feeling of forest tunnels, then [Qiding Station] and [Qiding Mother-and-child Tunnel] in Zhunan, Miaoli, are definitely the soul destinations of your trip. There are no crowded crowds or noisy business districts here, only the sound of trains passing slowly from afar, and full of natural greenery and the atmosphere of old Taiwan. It is the best place to slow down and breathe again. 🚉 Qiding Station: A secret platform between blue trains and mountains and seas Qiding Station, hidden between mountains and seas, is an unmanned station of Taiwan Railways. Although it is small in scale, it is full of old-fashioned romance. Walking out of the station exit is the classic long staircase. Walking to the platform at the top of the stairs, the entire railway and platform are in full view. The sky is blue, the sea breeze is blowing, and the station is quiet. This place is like a scene from a Japanese drama. I stood on the platform and watched the train leave, feeling an indescribable sadness and calmness in my heart. 🌳 Mother-child tunnel: a secret passage into the forest Walk for about 10 minutes from Qiding Station and you will enter a brick-paved pedestrian path. There are dense woods and vines on both sides, and the sun casts mottled light and shadows between the tree gaps, which looks like an animation scene. As you walk, you will come to the legendary mother-child tunnel. Standing in the middle of the two tunnels, the sun shines in from the exit, and the whole picture is quiet and dreamy. Take a breath, it is the smell of the forest, there is a sense of security that makes people reluctant to leave. 💡 Private recommendation: Recommended time: around 3pm is the best, the sun is not too hot, and the photos are the best with light and shadow Dressing style: It is recommended to go the hipster route, jeans + light-colored shirt/dress, with a straw hat or canvas bag, which is super suitable for taking photos 📍 Attraction information Transportation: Take the Taiwan Railway to "Qiding Station", and follow the signs to the viewing platform and trails after getting off Note: It is recommended to bring your own drinking water/parasol/hat and other sunscreen products #Qiding Station #Zimu Tunnel #Miaoli Stroll #Taiwan Secret #Nostalgic Railway #Hi-Tech Travel
