      Introduction

      Anchor point
      In recent years, Shiding has held the "Shiding Oolong Oriental Beauty Tea Festival" with a range of activities to attract more people to Shiding, to revive Shiding's past glory as a tea production area. Thanks to its tea production in the early days, Shiding was a tea trading center between Pinglin, Shenkeng, and Shuangxi, and Shiding Old Street was a lively affair. However, since the opening of the No.1 Highway, Shiding’s traffic hub status has been taken over by Pinglin. The overtaking led to decline, but a few tea gardens and tea houses remain. Today, when you come to Shiding Old Street, a century-old tofu shop, stilt houses, the Skyless Street, Old Iron Shop, etc., give visitors a glimpse into Shiding’s prosperous past.

        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!

With a history of more than half a century, this factory’s products are praised for their quality. Besides exhibiting various drums from other countries in the museum, the factory also displays the rare drum-making process, allowing visitors to experience the master's dedication to this traditional craft.You may also pay visits to Guangfu Temple, Fude Temple, Wenchang Temple, Ciyou Temple, Chaojiang Temple and other shrines and temples along the way.

The store will also teach customers the correct way to use and maintain them!
