A platform and painted village
The former Shigang station’s Lingdan platform (零擔月台), now popularly called 0 Egg Platform (0蛋月臺), served passengers and retail goods. It became a rest stop on the Dongfeng cycling corridor, with a railway carriage and station sign. Nearby Jiufang (九房) has three-dimensional murals based on fairy tales, including Jack and the Beanstalk and The Little Match Girl.
A reconstructed Hakka house
Tuniu Hakka Cultural Hall (土牛客家文化館) occupies the Liu family compound site. After earthquake damage, it was reconstructed with displays and multimedia about Hakka life. Shigang’s landscape also includes the dam overlooking the Dajia River valley. A July 2026 official report describes high-grafted pears as a local summer crop.
