Built along the hills, the station is very close to the waterfalls and Potholes, and other peculiar natural landscapes. Plenty of old houses were built along the Pingxi Old Street based on its landform. Houses like the Traditional Taiwanese Grocery Store, local street food, and traditional vendors that sell the agricultural products are places to visit and experience the archaic feelings of the past where Taiwanese people used to live a simple and humble life along the old street. Many TV commercials and filmmakers choose to shoot their films here as well. For all visitors, why not relax and take a stroll along the old street, and taste the local street food?

Shifen Waterfall is a must-visit tourist attraction in Pingxi District. Walking along the green tunnel walking trail, one can reach the waterfall after a 10-minute walk starting from the front road of Shifen Visitor Center in Sihguang. The wind blows softly and there are lush green trees everywhere. The river goes rambling along the trail as you walk in slight footsteps. It’s so refreshing. Finally, you can hear the roaring sound of the waterfall at the destination. Shifen Waterfall is located in the midst of the forest mountains surrounded by lush green trees. It is the widest curtain waterfall in Taiwan. Its torrential water swiftly falls down to the deep pond below passing through the tilted rock layers. It’s 20-meter deep. The misty moisture and Phytoncide down the waterfall makes people want to take a deep breath. There’s a rainbow across the waterfall under the sunlight. The place looks mystical and magical. There are three zones to watch the waterfall. Visitors can appreciate the beauty of waterfall from different angles. The first and second zones to watch the waterfall are much stiffer. It is highly recommended that the elderly and the disabled to go to the third zone to watch the waterfall. Crossing the Keelung River, the Sihguang Pond Suspension Bridge is located right next to the visitor center. Visitors can watch the Sihguang Pond created by a U-turn made by the Keelung River and the spectacular view of the pothole. Visitors can walk to the suspension bridge to watch the waterfall after walking along the landscape wooden walking trail at the back of the Visitor Center. There is a Yanjindong Waterfall that looks just like the shape of the eyeglasses if you peep through the waterfall when standing on the bridge. Although the bridge is not high, the flowing water falling down from the two holes in the middle of the rock creates the funny scenery that allows people with plenty of imagination.

This is the earliest pioneering area in Shiding District. The stone bridge called Wanshou Bridge has divided the street into two parts, the east street and the west street. The west street started to develop faster than the east street; yet, the east street is more prosperous. The Stone House in Shiding, its century-old tofu shop, the architecture of the Diaojiaolou stilted building, and the Bu-Jian-Tian-Jie street where no one can see the sky are all the tourist attractions one shall never miss out. The century-old blacksmith shop is a particular location where one can hear the clang sound of making the iron utensils on that quiet old street, which creates an atmosphere of nostalgia.

As walking along the old street, there are visible archaic architectures almost anywhere you can find! A typical local specialty food in Shengkeng is made of “tofu, green bamboo shoots, black pork, and tea leaves”, which creates a brand image for local tourism known as the “Shengkeng Culture featuring the four typical ingredients”. Local culture, great food, and unique shopping experience were integrated into each other. It allows the visitors to take a private tour to experience the local flavors with much profound travelling experience.
