The tracks wind through the Keelung River Valley; the journey features beautiful verdant mountains, the Shihfen Waterfall, the Lingchiao Waterfall, the Tahua "Teapot" Cave, and other sights. As relics of the long-gone glory days of the mining industry glide by the train's window, the sound of chugging wheels is complemented by the gurgle of flowing water, making for a lovely effect.
鐵道全線蜿蜒於基隆河谷，沿途層巒疊翠，中途有十分瀑布、嶺腳瀑布、大華壺穴等景點，昔日礦業風華遺跡滑過窗外，隆隆行軌配上淙淙水聲，很是動人。
