Taipei Tour｜One-day Mine Nostalgia Tour｜Jingtong Station×Railway Story Museum×Pingxi Business District 🚂

#Taipei Itinerary

Walking through Jingtong Station, the terminus of the Taiwan Railway Pingxi Line, the wooden station and old-style platforms instantly bring you back to the coal mining days of the 1920s. This was once a prosperous mining town. Today, the remains of the coal preparation plant are still preserved beside the railway tracks, and vines are climbing all over the red brick walls, bearing witness to the rise and fall of the black gold era.

The must-visit Jingtong Railway Story Museum was converted from an old warehouse. The museum displays miners' headlamps, old photos and other cultural relics. You can also experience a simulated mine car tunnel and feel the daily life of the miners back then. The wishing bamboo tube hanging in front of the station sways in the wind, making crisp sounds, becoming the most distinctive scenery.

In the afternoon, take a small train to Pingxi business district and walk through the old streets full of sky lanterns. The red brick buildings and nostalgic grocery stores outline the unique slow-paced atmosphere of the mountain city. Don’t miss the Japanese-style old house cafe hidden in the alleys and sip a cup of time next to the coal mine tracks☕.
