        In September 1953, Jingsiou Elementary School was opened, seen from the wooden classroom to the east, passengers got on the train on the platform 500m away in the southeast. The train whistle of Railways Administration and the Sugar Railways and the coal cinder smell were visible before eyes. President Huang hoped to develop the topic course of Jingsiou Railway. On the opening ceremony day on November 2, a lot of booths were set up in front of the station, including Youbike test ride, Changhua delicious food and gift exchange. People were crowed in to support Yuanlin.

      The old ticket hall has been closed, only in front of No.5 ticket hall there is a long queue of people purchasing the stamps in memory of traffic opening.
      The old corridor is paved with red carpet. There is a riot of sound in the ticket hall of the new station.
      Teacher Lin from Jingsiou Vanguard Team purchases an interval ticket and goes to the platform to taste the fresh and follow fashion.
      Yuanlin Elevated Station is like a small high-speed railway station, the dangling and flying public work of art ascends the stairs, with clean and bright convenient stores. The escalator and transparent elevator different from the past are very convenient.
