Nestled in a secluded mountain village with around thirty to forty households, the seldom-known Shanimi Station stands quietly amidst the mountains. Daily witness to the rushing of scheduled trains, the station is described by writer Hsiang Liu as "a legendary, inaccessible station." Isolated yet peaceful, Shanimi Station surrounds itself with a few scattered farmlands. It still serves a limited number of passengers each day even after railway electrification. The island platform preserves the style of the pre-eastbound railway expansion era. Combined with the writer's literary accounts, the tranquil and down-to-earth atmosphere of the station has deeply attracted numerous travelers and railway enthusiasts to visit this beautiful little station. Near the station, the Shanimi Chapel, with its weathered white stone walls and a weather-beaten red cross on its roof, reflects the scars of passing time. This small chapel remains the local faith center. As Shanimi Station gains popularity, the Shanimi Chapel, standing tall in the village, has become a hotspot for tourists to take photos, adding a touch of lively energy to the once quiet mountain village.
