The Dongfeng Bicycle Green Corridor is the first dedicated bicycle path in the country built from a decommissioned railway, stretching approximately 13.6 kilometers. It features a green energy tourism route that incorporates railway characteristics, such as pavilions converted from railway platforms, railway tracks parallel to the bike path, and the Fault Platform Park commemorating the 921 Earthquake, all of which hold historical and educational significance. The scenic views along the route are beautiful and pleasant, with greenery planted on both sides of the path, creating a lush environment that resembles a "green Dajia River," complementing the nearby blue Dajia River.

Dongfeng Bicycle Greenway Introduction

The Dongfeng Bicycle Green Corridor (0k~13.6k) is covered by public liability insurance. Formerly known as the Dongfeng Railway and also referred to as the Dongshi Branch Line, it was built in 1958 and is one of the branch lines of Taiwan's Mountain Line Railway, spanning across Fengyuan, Shigang, and Dongshi. At that time, the red cypress, flat cedar, and fir wood from the Dongshi area needed to be transported, along with the transportation of materials for the construction of the Shigang Dam and over 100,000 tons of agricultural products for commercial shipping. Thus, the Dongfeng Railway came into existence and is a memory of the past for the residents along the railway. Since its inauguration on November 15, 2000, the Dongfeng Bicycle Green Corridor has become a new recreational spot for weekends in the Greater Taichung area. Along the route, attractions such as Shigang Dam, Dongshi Hakka Cultural Park, natural ecology, and scenic architecture offer rich travel plans for visitors whether they are families, couples, or on outdoor educational trips. Visitors can ride bicycles and experience a close connection with nature, relaxing both body and mind.
