Shifen Old Street

#chinatrip One of the most iconic features of this old street is the railway tracks that run directly through it. You can walk along the tracks, taking photos and enjoying the unique setting. Periodically, a train will pass through, and it’s fascinating to watch how the street comes alive with activity as people clear the tracks. You can also partake in the traditional sky lantern experience by purchasing one from various vendors along the old street. Each lantern typically comes with multiple sides for writing messages. Once the messages are written, the lantern is lit at the base and released into the sky at designated areas. Evenings are the best time to experience the sky lanterns, as the sight of lanterns illuminating the night sky is particularly stunning.
