Introduction
The first thing that the passengers saw after alighting from train is the Jingtong Station built in 1929. Listed as a heritage in 2003, the station was an essential facility for transporting coal. The coal washing plant directly opposite the station is an invaluable relic of the coal industry. Today, the enormous coal washing plant is transformed into a coffee shop. Why not stop here for a cup of coffee and learn about Jingtong's mining history. After that, pay a visit to the only sky lantern-shaped "Sky Lantern Police Station" in the world, and then the Taiwan Railway Company, which is a souvenir shop railfans wouldn’t miss. Write down your wishes on a bamboo tube in the shop to leave a trace of you in Jingtong.
Reminders
Tourists should follow the traffic warning signs and do not cross the rails randomly to avoid danger.
