When every one tells you that you should write on the sky lanterns (tian deng), pen your wishes down and let your dreams wander and hopefully they come true….just like this…
why not engage yourself in something different? Along the same Shifen old street, there are a couple of shops that sell postcards. One of the most special postcard shops has to be this…
Piled up with wooden blocks and a couple of saws, this shopkeeper creates his own handmade postcards with pieces of wood. He then designs these postcards with various landmarks of shifen. The ones you see here include the Shifen train that brings you around the area of Shifen Old Street. Originally built to transport coal, this train has now become a tourist attraction that brings you around this Old Street area.
This shop provides markers and stamps for you to decorate your postcards, and on top of that, provides postage services. You can purchase international stamps and send the postcards to your friends and loved ones. A truly one-stop service.
