Old Taipei Railway Workshop, Industrial heritage site in Datong District, Taipei, Taiwan.

The Old Taipei Railway Workshop features large open spaces with high ventilation windows and traditional English-style brick construction techniques throughout its structure.

The Railway Department of Taiwan's Governor-General Office established this factory in 1919 to maintain and repair locomotives during the Japanese colonial period.

The facility represents Taiwan's industrial evolution, showcasing early 20th-century manufacturing methods and railway engineering practices through its preserved architectural elements.

Located at coordinates 25.049211N, 121.511056E, visitors can reach the workshop via multiple public transportation options in central Taipei.

The entire structure underwent a remarkable engineering feat in 2007 when it was moved 30 meters to accommodate construction and returned to its position in 2012.
