[Taipei] Flying lanterns on the railway tracks in a nostalgic city 🎈

#tourism #taipei #shifen #pingxi line 📍shifen Shifen is a day trip from Taipei The most famous thing about it is the sky lanterns that are raised high into the sky on the active railway tracks! It is said that if you write your wish on a sky lantern and raise it, your wish will come true. There are many sky lantern shops, but no matter which shop you ask at, the staff will take professional-quality photos and videos on your smartphone, so you can enjoy looking at them later💛 Also, since it is an active railway track, local trains pass by nearby! When the train passes by, everyone points their cameras at it and it's a chance to take a picture📸 You can also enjoy souvenir shops and eating while walking around There is a suspension bridge nearby, and I thought I would try to cross it, but it sways a lot, so if you are afraid of heights, be careful! [How to get to Shifen] Take the Taiwan Railway from Taipei Station and get off at Ruifang Station *The travel time from Taipei Station to Ruifang Station varies depending on the local station, rapid train, express train, and limited express train. If you are taking an express or limited express train, you can reserve a reserved seat ticket at the counter at Taipei Station. There is only one train per hour from Ruifang Station to the Pingxi Line, so you may have to wait. Ruifang Station is like a market and is fun, so it might be a good idea to get off and walk around while you wait! ୨୧┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈୨୧ 📝Spot details 📍 Shifen [Address] No. 51, Shifen Street, Shifen Village, Pingxi District, New Taipei City [Access] Akasaka Station, Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line [Opening hours] 10:00-18:00 ୨୧┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈୨୧
