New Taipei City Travel

At the end of the Pinglin Xingxiang Commercial Circle and down the stairway next to the gas station is the entrance of the Pinglin Drawbridge, or the best location to view schools of fish swimming in the river, an uneasy achievement from the district’s river ecological restoration project. Many visitors would throw fish feeds or toast crumbs down the bridge to feed the fish.

The entire street of “Pinglin Old Street” is about 200m long, with “Bao Ping Temple” at the center, which is the key belief for the locals. There are papier-mache stores, tofu snack stands, hardware stores and tea houses along the street, including the famous “Pinglin Pouchong Tea” in Taiwan. Stores on the old street are combined with Pinglin local tea culture, such that they used Pouchong Tea to make various creative snack foods, including tea rice cakes, steamed tea buns, tea nougats and tea oil vermicelli, etc. Moreover, Pinglin’s tofu is also famous, which is made with local mountain spring water, offering the sweet and delicious tofu dishes. When coming to Pinglin Old Street, one must come to taste the tea dishes and tofu, as they will definitely satisfy your gustatory sensation.
