Shifen is a small town in the Pingxi District. Its characteristic is that the town is built alongside the railway creating the so-called "train-passing-your-door" kind of housing. Many music videos and Hou Hsiao-Hsien's film Dust in the Wind have been shot at the Shifen Train Station. Some merchants came up with a business called "Happiness Postcards". Tourists can send a blessing to themselves in the future.
