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.
