I was wondering if it worth it to go for a day trip to Pingxi, I want to climb on some crags and to walk around town and maybe use local train (is it nice ??)
I live in Taouyan so I will have only 7 hours to explore city.
what do you think ?? is it enough >?

When posting, especially when starting a new thread, please use a title that explains your post or thread, e.g. don't put "Help please!" when you could put "Where can I find a camp site near Kending?"
Please check your spelling, because someone may do a text search for your information, e.g. if someone searches for information on Xizhi and you have spelled it She Jher, they won't find it. Someone spelled camping as "campin" without a g at the end - again, it can't be found by a text search. For place names in Taiwan, please try to use Hanyu Pinyin as default, as that is the spelling most people know.

7 hours is fine. You can do a loop of the crags starting in Pingxi and then catch the train to Jingtong (just a few minutes away) explore the old station a bit and then walk back to Pingxi is 30 minutes.
The crags are fantastic as a day hike and the train is fun.

“Everywhere else in the world is also really old” said Prof. Liu, a renowned historian at Beijing University. “We always learn that China has 5000 years of cultural heritage, and that therefore we are very special. It appears that other places also have some of this heritage stuff. And are also old. Like, really old.”

If you're in Taiwan in February, check out Pingxi for the Lantern Festival. It was quite magical.
