Best Option Around

This is a traditional Taiwanese vegetarian restaurant, serving simple rice and vegetable dishes. My dish was perfectly satisfying, but quite small, so you'll need at least two per person for a filling meal, especially if going to the Pingxi Crags to hike afterwards.
The owners were friendly, but not interested in helping with what was vegan, because it's all vegan (presumably including the boiled eggs) so it's necessary (for vegans) to just choose vegetable dishes. Definitely stay away from fake meat!
It says it's always open, but I think in reality they close when they quieten down, which appears to be around 6PM.
There's also a vegetarian restaurant which is only open on weekends at 122 Shifen Street, opposite from Shifen Station. It would be great if someone could try it (if there on a weekend) and add it to Happycow - thanks.

Pros: only veg rest in the area (weekdays)

Cons: no interest in helping with what's vegan

Enjoyed a simple vegetarian lunch at JingTong

I took Pingxi Railway Line to JongTong on 29/03/2014 and came across this vegetarian restaurant, a simple humble place, yet cosy enough to enjoy my quick lunch. As the train to Pingxi Train Station would be arriving in 20 minutes, I didn't have much time and hence had ordered a bamboo glutinous rice... WOW~~~ it was hot and yummy good!!! I would certainly recommend you to try it!

Pros: friendly owner, clean, good value

Cons: no "Vegetarian" signboard in English
