Introduction

Shifen Old Street is located near Shifen Station. Although it does not have century-old red brick buildings or well-known architectural styles, its geographical location adjacent to the railway often attracts train enthusiasts to come and watch. This is the only town in Taiwan where the railway line runs in front of the houses. The residents here have a close relationship with the railway, making it a holy place for nostalgic railway enthusiasts. In addition, the sky lantern handicraft shops in the old street area are iconic and unique buildings in the region. In recent years, the Hakka floral cloth and image postcards have also brought new vitality and enthusiasm to the unique Shifen Old Street.
