★ Follow our guide, Andrew, as he relays the enchanting history of this railway that has captured the hearts of Taiwanese people for over a century！

In the uniquely beautiful Taiwan, this island located on the Tropic of Cancer, boasting tropical beaches, mist-shrouded forests, and snow-capped mountains. The construction of railways began a century ago and has gradually become the most crucial means of transportation on the island. It not only serves strategic and developmental needs but also connects people’s lives.

“The Railway Romances,” introduces various aspects of Taiwan’s railways in six episodes, from the vital trunk railway that spans the entire island to the nostalgic railway bento boxes, exploring the familiar yet often overlooked details. Led by Andrew Chau, a Taiwanese with foreign contours but native roots, the series takes us along the railway tracks in search of romance.
