As we approached the end of the thermal valley in Beitou, we finally arrived at our destination this morning – Xinbeitou Historic Station (新北投車站). This historic station is actually the last remaining station from the TRA Tamsui Line and was constructed in 1916. However, the line ceased in 1988 and the station was removed for display in Changhua. After much negotiation, there was an agreement to reconstruct the structure near to the current Xinbeitou Metro Station and was finally re-opened to the public in 2017.
