      Introduction

      Anchor point
      Jingtong Station, an 80-year-old wooden station building, is decayed but has retained its elegant and ancient charm, attracting many tourists to take pictures. At the small quaint pavilion next to the station, visitors can buy bamboo tubes in the railway story hall next to them, write their wishes on the bamboo tubes and hang them in the pavilion.

      At the Jingtong Railway Story Hall next to the station, you could buy a wooden postcard, write blessings or memories on it, and drop it in the red retro mailbox to be sent to your home, a nice reminder of a wonderful trip. Jingtong Old Street, next to Jingtong Station, is only 100 meters away from the railway. The slate and floor tiles tell the history of the mining industry. There is a nostalgic miners’ canteen, railway souvenir shop, Yang Family’s best-selling chicken rolls, which make it an interesting area for visitors.

      Banqiao is truly filled with bloggers’ photo hot spots! Guangzheng Street near Banqiao Train Station is also known as “brunch street”, which offers many popular brunch places that are not only all distinctive, delicious, and great photo spots, but are also fully packed every weekend. After enjoying some delectable afternoon tea, head to Banqiao 435 Art Zone, where the rainbow umbrella installation art is a popular social media check-in spot widely known among bloggers; and now there is a newly open secret check-in spot nearby! Nanzigou Pumping Station located at Huanhe West Road has been partially rebuilt and transformed into a biker rest stop. An adorable Little Prince and the little fox are drawn on the wall; hold up the one and only rose and take a picture with it– it will be as fantastical as landing on planet B612! Then, come to Crescent Bridge where you can take more beautifully dreamy picture. You think you got good photo-taking skills?! Then come and take a shot of beautiful reflected 8! For the last stop, let’s end with a great meal – Xinzhuang Temple Street Night Market that is approximately 5-minute walk from Crescent Bridge is a historical night market that you should not miss! The area had once been a bustling gathering place for business people, so there are many historic temple sites and eateries nearby – Taiwanese spring roll, starchy meat soup, and pork blood soup are all reasonably priced with big portions, so you will definitely be full and satisfied!
