Former railway and riverside park

The Houfeng cycle route (后豐鐵馬道) links Fengyuan with Houli, using a former railway corridor that includes Tunnel No. 9 (九號隧道) and Hualiang Steel Bridge (花梁鋼橋). Its landmarks extend beyond Fengyuan. Huludun Park (葫蘆墩公園), beside the river in Fengyuan, was one of the venues for the 2018 flower exposition.

Miso and the temple market

Taiwan Miso Brewing Culture Museum (臺灣味噌釀造文化館) explains how miso is made and offers related food experiences. Miaodong Night Market (廟東夜市) sits beside Ciji Temple, with older food businesses around Zhongzheng Road (中正路), Boai Street (博愛街), Fuxing Road (復興路) and Xinyi Street (信義街). Fengyuan railway station provides the district’s rail access.
