If you are planning your itinerary around Pingtung, you may wish to take it into consideration to make your itinerary more diversified and experience a different beauty of Pingtung.
Brief Introduction and Experience of Zhutian Yiyuan
Originally built in the Japanese Occupation era, it was used as a place for people to store goods. This station is also the only remaining Japanese-style wooden railway station in Pingtung County and the only remaining Japanese-style wooden railway station in the Hakka area. In addition, the surrounding buildings are well-preserved, and the overall re-planning and operation are gradually attracting people to come and go. It can be regarded as another way to help Zhutian Township to generate tourism income. It is indeed worthy of consideration by other towns.
And Zhutian Yiyuan contains the following buildings and historical sites, which are listed as follows:
- Taketa Station, Bathhouse, Gujing: There are old offices, signal rooms, pantry, and night room in the station. These wooden tables and chairs, wooden window ticket booths, and writing timetables with writing brushes really bring the old atmosphere of the past.
- Elevated railway station, oil storage: oil storage, bathhouses, and ancient wells are historical relics left over from the Japanese Occupation era
- Mr. Li Xiuyun Photography Memorial Hall: You can’t take pictures inside, but you can see him documenting his early life in the guest house, as well as rural farming, celebrations and other rural cultural features
- Dr. Ikegami’s Library: "Maru Tetsu Transport Shop" and "Cargo Service Station" were demolished and rebuilt. They store historical books donated by the resident military doctor Ikegami Ichiro during World War II. The rich collection is called "the southernmost Japanese library in Asia".

Introduction and dining experience of Daiwa Restaurant
Renovating an old rice mill, maintaining the old structure, green plants, and injecting new design inspiration to create a unique dining environment. This concept is also applied to branches in Pingtung City.Although it is a normal afternoon visit, there are many tourists waiting in line. After registering the number, we walked around the Zhutian Post Park, and just called the number to eat inside.
There are not too many seats in the shop. The coffee is home-baked and hand-made, and desserts are served in cooperation with other shops. For those who are more concerned about the quality of coffee, the Yamato Meal is very approachable. If you like, you can also buy coffee beans home. Make your own. Overall, the coffee shop environment is excellent. There are some works upstairs to watch. I believe everyone who loves taking pictures can definitely stay for a long time!
▲ The weather is good and the lighting is brighter.
▲ Drinks with a unit price of XNUMX yuan are super friendly to the people!
▲ Suitable for parent-child continuous shooting!
▲ The quality of coffee beans can be controlled by roasting by themselves.
Conclusion
Zhutian Yiyuan and Yamato Foods belong to the same area. It is not difficult for those who drive to find parking spaces around. There are also some small vendors on the spot to stroll around. If there are elders and children on the itinerary, it is recommended to catch them. One afternoon session, so that you will not be too tired; if you are traveling with friends or couples, it is recommended to grab 2-3 hours. Everyone will focus on Yamato meals.
