Not to be confused with Shifen Old Street, Pingxi Old Street is a different spot where you can fly some lanterns too. It is a charming and historic street located just after Shifen Old Street in Taiwan. Once a bustling coal mining town, it now serves as a reminder of the area's past. Visitors can explore the old street, filled with traditional Taiwanese houses that have been repurposed into cafes, souvenir shops, and museums.

One of the must-do activities here is releasing a sky lantern, where you can write your wishes and watch them float up into the sky. Don't forget to try the delicious street food, like bamboo tube rice and peanut ice cream rolls. Whether you're looking for unique souvenirs or just want to soak up the atmosphere in a cozy cafe, Pingxi Old Street has something for everyone.
