Visitor tips
- Stay behind staff instructions and clear of the active railway whenever a train approaches.
- Check the Pingxi Line timetable before setting out because trains run less frequently than city services.
- Shifen Waterfall is a separate walk from the old street, so allow enough daylight for both stops.
