Take Danhai LRT that is designed based on Jimmy’s artwork or visit the historic buildings with implications of Huwei culture. Take a walk to the historical sites and feel the history and art of Tamsui.

      If you want to have more options, go to the FAB GREEN VILLAGE. There is a movie theater and a shopping center. It is a good place to take a break. Remember to walk to Fisherman’s Wharf to capture the sunset in photos.

      Discovering local delicacy is an important task for many tourists. There is great food around the Blue Coast Line of LRT such as Little River Hotpot and Hezheng Bakery Kitchen.

      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.
