Introduction

Originally the Nanzigou Pumping Station, which is located at the right bank of Dahan River and along the Nanzigou Cycling Route, was revamped partially into a biker’s rest stop offering cyclists a space to take a break. One can follow the signs and enter the Rest Stop from Shuangxikou Flood Prevention Pedestrian Bridge. The Rest Stop offers restroom, air pumping, and water refilling services. Entering the rest area indoor, one can also learn about the history and stories of Banqiao Nanzigou while taking a break.

But! The most striking view has to be the 26m-tall and 18m-wide mural! Based on the world classic book The Little Prince, this wall painting of adorable Little Prince, fox, and rose are waiting for your arrival at planet B612! (Photo Credit: Water Resources Department, New Taipei City Government)

How to Get There

Choose a transportation method based on your departure location.

Indian DIY Leathercraft

Taiwan was formerly thriving in the pigskin leather industry and served as a significant global supplier. In pursuit of market segmentation and to meet business demands, the Company established a subsidiary dedicated to the pigskin leather industry in 1989. This subsidiary emerged as the most professional pig suede supplier in Taiwan at the time. With an offering of 500,000 feet of raw materials available in over 70 colors to fulfill the requirements of the shoe, clothing, belt, and accessory manufacturing industries, the company made a great breakthrough at that time.

Shifen Old Street

The main feature here is the intersection of the old street built to connect with the railways. One can experience interesting “train passing by doorways” and the fun of shopping besides the railway tracks. It is also a well-known site where many Taiwanese singers take their MVs. One could stroll along the eateries or buy a “Shifen(very) happy” postcard and send to yourself in the future. If interested, you could also purchase a sky lantern and write down wishes to bless yourself with friends and families. The friendly shop owner will not only offer advice but also instruct how to take nice photos with the sky lanterns! Tourists must follow traffic signs and not randomly cross the railroad tracks to avoid danger! The sky lantern shops here are in business weekdays and holidays. Write down your wishes on the sky lanterns and make your dreams come true!
