Platform at Reifang. Take the Pingxi train from here. *

Reifang town, nothing special but you can get breakfast here and stock up for the trip. *

There are some old style buildings here, a throwback to the mining heydays. *

Try and get a seat at either end of the train. *

The train stops at Chingtung where the driver gets out and goes to the other end. *

A popular place to take photos is the track itself. This taken in Chingtung. *

Remnants of the mining days at Chingtung. *

One way up the mountain. *

Ghost town... once a hive of activity mining coal. *

This barred tunnel entrance gives a hint of what conditions must have been like. *

Ghostly concrete figures depict what conditions were like. *

Work is being done to turn the former mining town into a tourist destination. *

Just the thing for a cold day! *

The track goes straight down the middle of the town. *

Although you can walk down the track, there is not much extra room in the tunnels for you and the train. *

They did find coal in some strange places. *

The thing Pingxi is most famous for is lanterns. The big paper ones that you buy, set fire to and watch them disappear as you r dreams come true. *

Suspension bridge leading to Shrfen falls. *

The bridge is next to the visitor centre. *
