      Introduction

      Anchor point
      The Mt. Lingjiaoliao Walking Trail located in a multiple natural ecological environment, where Taiwan Acacia, Gordonia Axillaris (Fried Egg Plant) and Japanese Ophiorrhiza are all lined up along the way that pass through the three treasures in Linjiao (Tsai Family Western Building, Wanggu Waterfall, Lingjiao Old Bridge) and other scenic spots. Go down by taking the wood stack staircase to explore the Wanggu Waterfalls at a closer distance and for a better appreciation of the beautiful Wanggu Waterfall. At the same time when observing the waterfall, you can appreciate coal mining history and river crossing, the sound of a gurgling stream amidst the experience of a tranquil atmosphere in the mountain forest that leads the visitors to one of the rare secret places in urban cities.

        One-Day Railway Trip on the Pingxi Line
        As the train enters Yilan Line from Ruifang, we will arrive at Houtong and enter Pingxi Line from Sandiaoling. This railway line stretches amidst the verdant and lush mountainous area of Northern Taiwan, was built due to past prosperous coal mining industry, and is still operating. Besides transporting passengers, this is a popular route for railway trips in which it starts from Houtong. The magnificent achievements of the mining industry can be seen throughout the place in which they brought about railways and the prosperous development of towns along the way. Coming to Shifen, the origin of Sky Lantern and the largest station along the Pingxi Line, this is a major train intersection station. Looking back at the mining history of Pingxi, Shifen is the earliest and largest settlement developed. Its greatest feature is that the old street stands side-to-side with the railway track and presents the unique railway scenery of “the train passes through your front door”. Although the coal mining industry is a thing of the past, countless coal mining relics still remain along the Pingxi Line. It is rich with scenery and culture, in which visitors can seek tranquility at small unmanned stations, or enjoy traditional gourmet foods, visit grocery stores and hardware stores dating back to your grandparents’ days at bustling old streets. You can also get a Happiness Stamp at the station or fly a Sky Lantern written with your wishes for this year. You can enjoy a spectacular day and this is the branch line you cannot dare to miss.

        One-Day Railway Trip at Shuangsi
        Shuangsi, a simple mountainous town meaning “two rivers”, gained its name because the two rivers, Mudan and Pinglin, meet at Shuangsi Village and converge into Shuangsi River. It is a simple mountainous town. At Shuangsi, we recommend you to enjoy a low-carbon trip by train and bike. Rent a bicycle or electric motorcycle after getting off the train station to linger at the country sceneries of flower fields and plantations. Does this leisure tempo of life attract you? It is better to go for it rather than just imagining!
