Shifen Station

A Nostalgic Location. Lots to see, explore, try and experience. It is also a location for sky lantern releasing.

Amazing ! many people releasing flying lentern

Good little train station with many staff helping the confused tourists arrive and depart. Not many trains. Check the timetables. I don't think launching a burning plastic lantern is a good idea....

The train station, originally built for transporting coal, was built right alongside the Shifen Old Streets and today stands as a reminder of Taiwan's history and culture. With the marketplace surrounding the train station and the openness in which people can freely cross the tracks running straight through the centre of town. You can enjoy local restaurants, snack stalls, plenty of souvenir shops and even try to wish for good luck writing on the paper lanterns which are sold along the street!

A wonderful place you must visit.
