At the same time when observing the waterfall, appreciate coal mining history and river crossing, the sound of a gurgling stream and the experience of a tranquil atmosphere in the mountain forest which leads visitors to one of the rare secret places in urban cities.

Tsai’s Residence is a beautiful red brick building located behind the Lingjiao Station. The elegant classical arched corridors and spacious house garden give a sense of dignified affluence to the residence, which has attracted many movies and TV dramas to shoot here. The residence’s beautiful image should leave a strong impression on the audience’s minds.

An overlap of railway, river and street sceneries forms the unique mountain town landscape of Lingjiao. In the mining era, there were three mining areas that used Linjiao Station for coal delivery. With the decline of the mining industry, Lingjiao became a peaceful village once again.

With the development of the railway, the busiest old street of Jingtong is at the exit of the Jingtong Station. Because of the increasing amount of tourists, the nearby merchants started catering to tourists by providing things such as local delicacies, agricultural specialties, and souvenir shop.
