The Dongshi line (Chinese: 東勢線; pinyin: Dōngshìxiàn) was a railway line of the Taiwan Railways Administration. The line was a branch line of the Taichung Line and stretched between Fengyuan and Dongshi in Taichung, Taiwan. After the line's abolishment in 1991, the Taichung County government turned the route into a paved bike path known as the Dongfeng Bicycle Greenway.[1]
