Jingtong Old Street. A great place to visit in September 2024

This small old street is clean and known for its sky lantern activities. There are two sky lantern shops on both sides of the street. Personally, I prefer the one near the Police Sky Lantern Museum. The owner is very patient and allows customers to draw for a long time. The lanterns released here fly high and far. Next to it is the Red Treasure Miner Canteen, where the pork chop rice has a traditional taste and is quite filling. Kids who enjoy eating with cats will probably like it there. The tracks at the Red Treasure Miner Canteen are safe for releasing sky lanterns and taking photos with the incoming train. Next to the old street, there is an exhibition space about the history of the old Jingtong Mine. Walking along the path by the railway towards the hillside, you can visit the old site of the Shidi Inclined Shaft.
