Was there for a stop-over when we were travelling from Sun Moon Lake enroute back to Taipei. The place is like a small village with some touristy spots. Liked the old train and tracks that are still there. Good for photo-ops.

There are shops that sells local produce such as sour plum and these were good. Many flavours to choose from.

There is a cardboard king cafe in there and kids could take a ride in the cardboard mini-train.

After going around Jiji Town by bicycle, I took the local train to Checheng Station at 12:33. It's Chinese New Year so the train is jampacked and there is some delay in departure, but it's understandable and worth squeezing myself in because when I stepped outside the train, I was in awe. It has the most beautiful scenery. Of course the weather has to be perfect with clear skies, otherwise, it will just be foggy and all white.
I had lunch in "Steam," where you can have a very relaxing view of the log pond, then went back to Visitor Center to get a map to go around the small village. I bought a bunch of chopsticks for 100NT only!
I took the same train to Ershui then back to Taipei.

This is a beautiful little town nestled in the mountains. Its a bit out of the way, but worth the visit.

In particular, there is a beautiful little tea house called Steam (隐茶) with a pavillion over a pond that serves great traditional treats as well as a wide range of teas. Shoes are not allowed into this beautiful tea house. I especially like their green bean cakes that taste wonderful and melts in the mouth.

For the past 30 years the scenic Ershui - Checheng branch line with at least five tunnels has played host only to TRA railcars that operate about 10 daily return trips. Our three car set at noon from the main line station at Ershui had about 40 travellers with a further 15 joining en route. Typical gap between trains is 80 minutes. They operate on time.

Checheng station is a restored heritage wooden building. There are displays of logging and coal mining, two activities that earlier saw the raikway well used.

There is a good, cheap restaurant just up the short hill from the station while the public bus departs from the bus station near the river to Sun Moon Lake.

There are clean public toilets and plenty of souvenir and some food stalls.

Get a guide to bring you around and explain the history behind this little township, and take a train ride between Checheng and JiJi. Also consider doing a scenic bicycle ride between the stops.
