Shi Fen is another attraction not too far away from Taipei. It has a long stretch of shops along a Railway line.
Lots of shops selling snacks and tourists stuff.
The railway line goes through the center of the marketplace.
The railway is actually still functional. You have to be careful not to be knocked down by train.
They also do sky lantern here. A bit like mini hot air balloon without passenger, though you can always strap a cat on it.
Nearby is a waterfall. Nice place to visit for the greenery.
