菁桐礦業生活館 - Pingxi District

The epidemic has not started. After the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the town is extremely quiet, looking straight at the beauty! 2021/06/15, 15:00?

Pingxi District prospered due to coal mining, but also declined due to coal mining stoppages. The Jingtong Mining Living Hall, which was rebuilt using the former Taiwan Railway staff dormitory, shows the development history of Jingtong Mining. The venues have been shut down, but considerable industrial sites have been left behind, which have become local characteristic resources, such as Jingtong Station, Coal Washing Plant, and Pingxi Guest House, which have been included in the Cultural Society's 2001 Taiwan Historical Scenic Spot. Combined with tourism resources, foreign visitors can learn more about local historical relics and local customs through this museum. In addition, local residents have a long-standing love for the countryside and are committed to the research of the coal industry and the Pingxi Railway. There are groups such as the Pingxi District Tournament Association, the Pingxi Charming Business Circle Association, and community development associations. They have held railways. Cultural studies, understanding of mining, geological landscape studies and other activities have been very active in promoting local culture. The establishment of the Jingtong Mining Living Museum provides a place to collect and display the results of these local teams over the years. In the future, it will further expand the level, combining the sky lantern folk customs, the ecological landscape of the upper Keelung River, the special geology of waterfall pot caves, and tradition. The dye industry highlights the local characteristics, and promotes the development of local culture and tourism through the convenient transportation of the Pingxi branch railway.

Can understand the coal mining years of the Republic of China from 1940s to 1970s. This is the largest and best quality coal mining area in Taiwan. When it flourished, as many as 10,000 people worked here. Have a deep understanding of the culture of the region!

Introduce the history of coal mines in this area in the early years. It is a pity that Pingxi can only think of sky lanterns in the cultural heritage. It provides a better understanding of the charm of Pingxi.

The total output of Jingtong coal ranks third in Taiwan. The quality of the coal is excellent, and it is known as "Taiwan Coal"! Jingtong Mining Life Museum is next to the railway station. Although the exhibition space is not large, it is a must-visit exhibition hall when you come here. Through the photos and exhibits inside, you can better understand the local humanities and history. The reception lady at the front desk is so enthusiastic and has worked hard! It's really a great place.
