     Yuanlin Elevated Railway is about 4km. On November 2, 2014, I visited the event that the railway is open with my father. After entering into the wide space of hall selling tickets, we saw that the hall is designed to be of green building and well ventilated, in the middle is a 3D picture, writing “The Future of Hope”, with forest and train as elements, very attracting. There are two elevators directly reaching the platforms on the third floor, the staircase in the south hangs a “Space and Time” design pattern of kiln burning glass and stainless steel, combining the flowers and forest, which brings happiness and peace to people. After reaching the platforms on the third floor, we saw that two new platforms go to the distant place, and Railway Silo in the north is looking down the zigzag rail, making us relaxed and happy. We took a picture in the new station. This new station can be compared with small high-speed rail station and becomes a landmark of Yuanlin. Welcome to Yuanlin by train.
