Introduction

The old street near Jing Tong Station is the liveliest place in the area. Due to the development of railway transportation, more and more tourists come here, so local businesses have started to focus on tourism. Flavorful snacks, special agricultural products, and souvenir shops each have their own unique characteristics. Meanwhile, a prayer activity has become popular in the Jing Tong area. Tourists can write their own prayer on a bamboo tube, which is then hung on both sides of the railway. When visitors touch the bamboo tube, it makes a clacking sound reminiscent of wooden clogs. This unique activity has become a major attraction for tourists.
