Together with the tea and dyes in the vicinity, it became the distribution center and became the origin of today's Shenkeng Old Street. At the entrance of the old street, there is a large winter tree landmark. The most famous is the tofu food, which has attracted many tourists. A variety of tofu dishes: braised tofu, black tofu, charred tofu and so on, are mouth watering. There are also four treasures in the deep pit: green bamboo shoots, black pork, white tofu and Wenshan tea, and the restaurant also launched a four-treasure meal, making it famous for its food in Shenkeng Old Street.

Jingtong is located at the terminal of Pingxi Line. The 80-year-old wooden building station attracts many tourists to come to take pictures and experience the beauty of classical elegance in a simple natural environment. The early Jingtong was very lively due to the development of the coal mine. With the gradual loss of the people's tide after the mining pit was stopped, the retro style of the railway was re-engaged, and even the small pavilion beside the railroad track was filled with the passenger's prayer bamboo tube. Featured new attractions. The Laojie shopping district near the exit has also revived the prosperity of the past, selling specialty food such as chicken rolls, miners canteens and local agricultural products, and re-creating the new look of the lively Jingtong.
