Shifen Old Street

 Shifen Old Street (十分老街) is a famous attraction in Taiwan, located in the Pingxi District of New Taipei City. It is best known for its railway running straight through the bustling street, where visitors can release sky lanterns with written wishes into the sky.


Highlights of Shifen Old Street:

  1. Sky Lanterns – The most iconic activity, where people write their wishes on paper lanterns and release them for good luck.
  2. Shifen Railway Station – A nostalgic station along the Pingxi Railway Line, originally built for transporting coal.
  3. Local Food & Snacks – Try traditional Taiwanese street foods like peanut ice cream rolls, grilled sausages, and stinky tofu.
  4. Shifen Waterfall – Often called the "Little Niagara of Taiwan," this waterfall is a short hike from the Old Street.
  5. Historical & Cultural Vibes – The area retains an old-world charm with its traditional architecture and railway heritage.

It’s a great place for a day trip, especially if you're visiting Jiufen or Pingxi as well. Would you like recommendations on how to get there or the best times to visit?
