Many Taiwanese between 40 and 60 years of age have the image from a photo of 20-plus children linking hands around this gargantuan tree deeply implanted in their minds. But sadly, in late June of 1998, the tree had to be cut into a pile of dead wood. After that, the train no longer stopped there.
對許多現今 40-60 歲的台灣人來說，一張二十多名孩童手牽手圍繞神木的照片，依然深植腦海，可惜 1998 年 6 月底，神木被放倒成數節枯木、棄置路旁之後，火車已過站不停。
