Shiding has been an important production area of Oolong Oriental Beauty Tea since ancient times. Wenshan Pouchong Tea is also grown here, making it one of the top three tea markets in Taiwan. During the heydays of Taiwan's coal industry, Shiding was also an important coal mining area in northern Taiwan. Although the mining industry has declined, many relics remain.
