The area

Neighbourhood: Pingxi District

The formerly prosperous mining industry of Pingxi District has presently bid its time of black gold farewell, washing off its glories and returning to simplicity, it attracts travelers to stay by picking up a downshifting pace. If you like the mountains and water, come seek out the secluded Wanggu Waterfall and the majestic Shifen Waterfall; if you are a railroad scene enthusiast, there is no harm in taking the train along the Pingxi rail branch line and making random stops in the unique surrounding stations. Quaint Jingtong Station and Serene Wanggu Station calm the mind for relaxation. Shifen Station and Shifen Old Street with its distinct scene of “a train passing through the front doors” and nostalgic old street makes every corner worthy of savoring. You must experience releasing sky lanterns when visiting Pingxi. Write down your wishes and let the sky lantern bring them slowly to the sky. There is also the one and only “Sky Lantern Police Station”, not only with daily dazzling light shows but also offering customized “Police Wishing Sky Lantern” so tourists can hand draw images or writings and display them on LED sky lanterns.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hidden waterfall at Wanggu Train Station

Apr 2020

相較於鄰近的十分瀑布，望古瀑布較為隱密，比較少人知道。它就位於望古車站附近，爬山大概約15分鐘，算是滿容易到達的瀑布。因為較少人知道，就滿適合拍照，也不用人擠人，算是相當不錯。

Compared to Xifeng waterfall, Wanggu waterfall is less known and mentioned. The size is relatively small but ideal for photo shootings.

The location is closed to the Wanggu train station. Or take Tourism Shuttle Line 795 from Muzha MRT station and hop off at Ching He Chiao(慶和橋).
