🏮 Sky Lanterns & Railway Charm

#postandearn Located in Pingxi District, Taiwan, Shifen Old Street is a lively, nostalgic town built along an active railway line. It’s famous for its sky lanterns, which people write wishes on and release into the sky. What to Do: • Release a sky lantern right on the train tracks • Try local snacks like grilled sausage or peanut ice cream rolls • Explore nearby Shifen Waterfall, just a short walk or taxi away • Watch the train pass through the narrow street—it’s a fun photo moment! How to Get There: • Take the train from Taipei to Ruifang, then transfer to the Pingxi Line • Or join a day tour that includes Jiufen and Shifen Tips: • Visit early or late to avoid crowds • Bring cash—many stalls are cash-only • Be ready to snap photos when the train rolls through! #taiwantravel #taiwan #travel #shifenoldstreet
