The station is built on the site of a former coal-hauling railway line that serviced the defunct Shen'ao Power Plant.
It is frequently cited as the 'Taiwanese equivalent' to Kamakura-kōkō-mae Station in Japan due to its proximity to the water.
The station platform is situated at an elevation of approximately 10 meters above sea level.
During the reconstruction of the Shen'ao Line, the platform was specifically reoriented to face the ocean to optimize the coastal panorama.
The area surrounding the station remains part of a geological zone characterized by weathered rock formations and marine abrasion platforms.
Badouzi Station is a unique rail stop located on the Shen'ao Line, famous for its unobstructed panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. Known as the 'Northern Most Station' of the Taiwan Railway Administration, it features a platform that stands directly adjacent to the coastline. The station was reopened in 2016 following a long period of abandonment to facilitate tourism along the northern coast. Its design emphasizes an open-air architecture that allows passengers to view the sea immediately upon stepping off the train. The location serves as a critical connection point for visitors traveling between the seaside landscape and nearby geological parks. The tracks are laid on a former mining railway route that historically transported coal from the Ruifang area. Today, the station functions primarily as a scenic transit hub rather than a traditional commuter stop.
The northern end of the platform, where the tracks appear to merge into the horizon of the East China Sea.
Check the local railway authority's official schedule in advance, as trains on the Shen'ao line do not run as frequently as main urban metro lines.
Use an EasyCard or similar transit card for seamless boarding, as the station lacks traditional ticket counters.
Bring a portable fan or umbrella for sun protection, as the platform has minimal covered seating areas.
Do not attempt to walk along the tracks or cross them at unauthorized points; local authorities strictly enforce rail safety.
Stay behind the yellow safety lines at all times, as trains pass through frequently and space on the platform is narrow.
