You will never see it in our City life, the place is so serene and the food there is tasty with the old kind of cooking. I love it.

Explore HouTong , JiuFen , Jing Gua Hsih with PingXi Railway Line. Interesting , fun and new. Always enjoy Taiwanese delicacies along the way.

Our initial plan was to visit Fulong White Beach for the SandCastle exhibit, but due to bad traffic jam, we just retoured to Pinxi - Shifen area.

It is a good change and break from busy city life. There are about 6 stops on the pingxi line. It is useful to take the train all the way to the last station - jingtong. On the way up to the final station, we looked and decided on the stations we will get off on the way down. We... More

Great atmosphere, especially when the whistle blows to clear the rails for the train to rumble though the main street where you had just released your lantern.... More

The attractions in Jintong were pretty run down, so the only thing to do was to walk the old street, which was pretty short, and... More

Stop by Houtong, Ping Xi and Shi Fen station along this railway line. Each town have its own unique point. Enjoyed the visiting the 3 stations and the nice food in the town. Recommend to allocate at least 3-4 hours so that you can enjoy the beauty of Ping Xi.
