Shifen Old Street (十分老街), located in the Pingxi District of Taiwan, is renowned for its picturesque setting and the tradition of releasing sky lanterns. This charming street offers a glimpse into the past with its historic railway and quaint shops. Visitors often partake in the tradition of writing their wishes on sky lanterns and releasing them into the sky, symbolizing the sending of prayers and hopes to the heavens. The practice of releasing sky lanterns in Shifen has its roots in the region's history as a coal mining district, where they were originally used as signals for the safe return of workers. Today, it's a beautiful way to experience local culture and participate in a longstanding tradition. For those planning to visit, it's recommended to choose eco-friendly lanterns to minimize environmental impact, and to consider timing the visit with the annual Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival for an even more memorable experience.

The nearby Shifen Waterfall, often referred to as the 'Niagara Falls of Taiwan', provides a natural spectacle with its impressive width and volume of water. You can watch my walk at Shifen Waterfall here:    • [4K] LITTLE NIAGARA FALLS OF TAIWAN -...
