The Chaocheng Village in Shuai‑li Township is the terminal station of the Jiji line. It still retains the former large factory building of Zhenchang Woodworks, a big wood‑storage pond, the employees’ dormitory area, the Chaocheng village itself, and the Shuai‑li Creek valley. During the Japanese occupation and the early post‑liberation period, Chaocheng was a dream for many young people, a hub of commerce that once thrived, earning Shuai‑li the nickname “Little Taipei.” The Jiji branch line was the main artery of that traffic.
“The Shuai‑li Plum Pavilion” sits beside the Chaocheng train station. It was originally an old railway depot. After being renovated with cypress wood by the Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area Administration, it was leased by the Shuai‑li Township Agricultural Association and converted into a local‑industry‑focused agricultural product exhibition and sales center. The main focus is on plum‑related products and souvenirs that the Shuai‑li Township Agricultural Association has been developing for years, along with special products that combine the culture of Shuai‑li’s snake kiln. Many have won the top 100 premium awards from the Agricultural and Fishery Association. These items are distinctive and perfect for your collection and sharing.
