sheng sing station long teng bridge

路过苗栗我想大家比较知道的景点可能是胜兴车站、龙腾断桥及天空之城,老实说胜兴车站附近老街太小了,而且停车不方便,但还如果只要待一下下的话还是可以来逛逛,那龙腾断桥如果对历史不是很清楚的话,那也差不多车子开了就过了,景点应该算是一般

说真的这2个景点距离不算远，可以安排同一天到访，胜兴这似乎已经商业化了，周遭都是商家，感觉不出古老气氛，假日去的话真的要考量一下，那车道窄会车不易，动线规划有待加强哦！

毕竟是深山中的小车站，就不用太要求顺畅的交通了，不过也因为是坐落在高低起伏的山中小径，更有旧山城车站的气氛啊！车站本体和建筑都维护得很好，参观前若做做功课，仔细研究车站的地理位置和木造建筑，会在旅途中得到很大的趣味！中午在胜兴客栈用餐，无论服务还是餐点都很令人满意，商店街也很有特色，无论是怀旧思古还是旅游踏青，都很推荐这里（车站附近有草莓园，草莓季节去摘采，也能是另外一个活动安排）。

古老的火车，造型优美，虽已停用，但保留完整，周边风景自然漂亮，拍拍照，很棒，老街道上也贩售很多客家小品，点心，小吃，更别忘了DIY来一杯雷茶，冰的也很不错。

这次是利用中秋节连假前往。好看的已经有许多网友分享了就不多说，只是觉得几个地方可以再更好：1.交流道下来虽然指标很多，但是没提到假日会临时单向管制，我们从龙腾断桥往车站的外地客只好把车停在较高处，但距离车站路程其实还有好一段路。县政府记得收钱，但却没有适当的辅助，这点对老人小孩真得很不友善。2.车站本身如果为了保持原味而没有无障碍设施各人可以接受，不过参观的次序，该看的亮点可以放在车站把车站当成一个游客中心。3.铁道是否要开放游人行走？如果要开放就要有些相关的配套，许多旅客在山洞活动但却缺乏照明，这点远不如宜兰的草岭隧道。

艳阳高照的午后，进入胜兴火车站其实反而有种舒服的感觉，山里头永远都是凉凉的，想来这里避暑也是可以的。车站保有许多日治时期的建筑，让人仿佛有种重返过去的感觉。另外站长宿舍也是一个值得去看的地方，可以发现一些以前人的智慧。

胜兴火车站就在断桥前方约八分钟的车程，开了许多道地的客家菜小吃店，目前只在暑假的假日会有蒸气火车经过，让铁道迷为之疯狂，游客们会在铁道上拍照留念。

Loved this place!Simple and quaint spot with lots of local eats and an understanding of the railway station which used to be on the highest altitude in Taiwan.If you are there you cannot miss the smelly tofu!Highly recommended and not touristy!

My tour guide brought us here as it was near the Shengxing Train Station. This was a railway bridge that was disused after a major earthquake broke it up. The remnants of the broken bridge was preserved for historical purposes and tourism, I supposed. At first glance, we marvelled at what the power of an earthquake could do to break such a huge bridge. On a closer look, we realized that the bridge was made almost entirely of red bricks! I couldn't quite see whether steel was used to construct the pillars of the bridge but if it were built just using primarily red bricks, the engineering expertise used back in those days to build the bridge would amaze you. In any case, we spent about 15 minutes here to take photos and a quick lookaround. Pop by if you are around the vicinity. For those who might not be interested in history or engineering stuff, like the ladies in my family, they would likely find it boring.

Date: 25 Nov 2014Time: 30 mins between 4.45 to 5.15pmWe made a quick trip to this station at the recommendation of our Utaxi driver. I told him that I am interested to get stamp chops from train station and he drove us here for free, it is not part of our itinerary. I was so glad to have made this unplanned trip, the place is so romantic during the evening when the lights come on.Get your stamp chops before the shop closes at 5pm. I wish I have more time to try the restaurant on the mountain overlooking the train station.
