Taichung’s Green Corridor turns old railways into a vibrant 21.7 km park connecting 10 train stations, local eats, and scenic stops.
Taichung’s Green Corridor is a 21.7-kilometer continuous park that transforms the city’s former railway line and embankment into a scenic, walkable, and bikeable route. The corridor passes through 10 train stations, each surrounded by vibrant local eateries and popular hangouts—forming a rail-driven economy now seamlessly connected by a well-developed bike path.
For example, one shop has both locals and tourists lining up at an 80-year-old meat soup stall to enjoy nostalgic flavors. Next door, springy noodles topped with savory minced pork offer a taste that keeps diners coming back. Just behind the station, a rice dumpling shop—nearly 90 years old—remains a beloved stop for snack lovers.
Nearby, the former dormitory complex of Taichung Prison offers a peaceful stroll and leads to the future site of the National Comics Museum. Heading north toward Fengyuan Station, visitors can stop at the famous Tzu Chi Temple (慈濟宮) for prayers and continue their food adventure at the lively Miaodong Night Market (廟東夜市).
This bike-friendly corridor unites food and culture and boosts local economies across Taichung, allowing businesses to make some green while promoting green living.
