Visitor tips
- Use the Pingxi Line timetable to decide whether to combine Pingxi with Shifen or Jingtong.
- The old street follows a slope beside and below the railway, so expect steps and uneven paths.
- Festival dates draw large crowds; visit on an ordinary weekday for a quieter look at the town.
