Dongli Station and Dongli Bicycle Station Introduction
Dongli Station, with an average of about 20 visitors daily, may seem unremarkable, but it is praised as "the most beautiful station on the mountain line." Upon entering the platform, one is captivated by the stunning scenery—the endless green rice fields spread out before you, with the small Dongli Station surrounded by fertile farmland. This breathtaking pastoral view attracts many tourists to visit. Dongli Bicycle Station, the former Dongli Station, is also the starting point for the Yufu Bicycle Path heading north. The boundless network of paths on both sides makes it a must-visit stop for many cycling enthusiasts. The historical platform retains its early charm, and combined with the signature scenery of the Hualien-Taitung Valley, it allows visitors to enjoy the beautiful countryside while riding their bicycles. As the sun rises, sunlight falls on the rice fields, with the vibrant green seedlings swaying in the wind, creating waves of green rice visible to the eye. With seasonal changes, the rice fields shift from green to yellow, filling the air with the fragrance of rice. Riding a bicycle past the golden rice waves swaying in the breeze, one can deeply appreciate the tranquility of Dongli Station and Dongli Bicycle Station, along with the exquisite beauty of the rice fields.
