With an 80-year history, the wooden station building - Jingtong Station - with its dilapidated old houses exudes an elegant ancient charm, attracting many tourists to take photos. Next to the station is a small, old-fashioned pavilion. Tourists can buy bamboo tubes at the Jingtong Railway Story Museum nearby, write their wishes on the prayer bamboo tubes, and hang them on the pavilion. At the Jingtong Railway Story Museum next to the station, buying a wooden postcard, writing down blessings or memorials, and putting it into the red vintage mailbox by the door to send it out is a popular way for many tourists to keep memories of their trip. Jingtong Old Street, located next to Jingtong Station, is only about 100 meters long, running alongside the railway. The stone-paved tiles tell the history of the mining industry. The street has nostalgic miners' canteens, railway souvenir shops, and popular stores like Yang's Chicken Rolls, making it a popular destination for tourists. As the construction of the railway transportation developed, the most bustling old street in Jingtong is located at the exit of Jingtong Station. Due to the increasing number of visitors, local shops have all started to run tourism businesses, offering local delicacies, agricultural products, and souvenir shops, each with its own characteristics. It is said that from some time, the Jingtong area began to become popular for letting tourists write prayers on bamboo tubes, hanging them on both sides of the railway tracks. As the tourists play with them, they make a clinking sound. People who are not aware of this might think someone is walking on wooden clogs on the street!
