    The train station located down the river from the waterfall area, originally built for transporting coal, was built right alongside the Shifen Old Streets. Shifen Station is one of the oldest railway stations in Taiwan, dating back to the Japanese colonial era. Originally built for transporting coal during the mining boom, it now serves as a nostalgic reminder of the region's industrial past. One of the most distinctive features of Shifen Station is its railway tracks lined with colorful lanterns. Visitors often write their wishes or messages on these lanterns before releasing them into the sky, creating a mesmerizing display, especially during the Pingxi Lantern Festival.
