Dajia Station, located in Dajia District, Taichung City, is a highly important second-class station on the Coast Line of the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA). For Mazu believers across Taiwan and around the world, this is not just a transit station for catching trains; it is the most crucial transportation gateway for participating in the world-class religious event—the "Dajia Mazu Pilgrimage." As soon as you step out of the station lobby, you can immediately feel the unique passion, the aroma of pastries, and the booming vitality of this small town.
Dajia Railway Station
Dajia Station is a major transportation hub on the TRA Coast Line with frequent train services. It is an essential node connecting tourism along the coastal line of central Taiwan, heavily relied upon by both commuters and tourists.
There are many photos of the Mazu pilgrimage activity in the passageway leading out of the platform.
Whenever Dajia Jenn Lann Temple holds the Mazu pilgrimage in the third lunar month, Dajia Station ushers in its most glorious moment of the year. Tens of thousands of pilgrims from home and abroad flood the station. Watching the tide of people pouring out of the station, you can witness Taiwan's most awe-inspiring religious mobilization with your own eyes.
Inside the station, there's a map of Dajia Township.
To improve passenger safety and convenience, and to promote local development, Dajia Station recently opened a brand-new cross-station overpass. This overpass not only connects the commercial districts of the front and rear stations, making it more convenient for local residents, but it also comprehensively upgraded accessible facilities like elevators, making it extremely friendly for tourists with strollers, wheelchairs, or large luggage.

Unlike the tranquility of Baishatun Station, stepping out of Dajia Station brings you to a bustling downtown commercial district! The air is often filled with the aroma of baking, with famous "Butter Pastry" and "Dajia Taro Pastry" shops everywhere. The route along Jiangong Road leading to Jenn Lann Temple is packed with all kinds of local street food and night market delicacies.
