About the lengthLength on the national cycling portal's 雲林縣雙鐵綠廊自行車道 entry (12,333 m). The portal's drawn line includes a short side branch. No Yunlin County Government page for this bikeway was found.
Why these labels
Traffic and path type: Portal road types: about 10.3 km bike-only path and about 1.5 km mixed traffic (Cycle.tw's sum of the portal's stretches), with the mixed sections as short links between path sections. Road crossings are not described.
Families: Most of the route is a bike-only path according to the portal, which makes it one of the better family options in Yunlin. Short sections and crossings are shared with traffic, so keep children close there.
The Double Rail Green Corridor is Yunlin's highest-ranked route in the national cycling portal's popularity order (27th nationally). The portal places the start beside the front plaza of TRA Dounan Station.
The portal's line runs west from Dounan through farmland and then north toward Huwei, ending a short way south of the Huwei Sugar Refinery, which the portal lists as a nearby sight together with the Yunlin Story House and Yunlin Puppet Theater Museum. Near Dounan Station it lists the Talihu cultural park (他里霧文化園區).
Unofficial sources describe the path as built on a former Taiwan Sugar railway; no official page confirming this was found.
Who it suits
Suits families and casual riders arriving by train. Skip it if you want long distances or hills.
The route
A ride plan, in order
- Start beside the front plaza of Dounan Station.
- Follow the path west through farmland, then north toward Huwei.
- At the Huwei end, visit the Huwei Sugar Refinery area, then ride back to Dounan.
Getting there without a car
- By train: TRA to Dounan Station. The portal says the bikeway is beside the station's front plaza.
- Returning from Huwei: the official pages do not describe public transport back from the Huwei end. Riding back to Dounan the same way is the simplest plan.
Bringing your own bike: Dounan is on TRA's bike station list. A bike fully packed in a proper bike bag (longest side 150 cm, 220 cm in total) can go on any TRA train. An unbagged bike can only use bike-service trains (兩鐵) between stations on TRA's bike station list, with a bike ticket and a limited quota per train; check the quota on the TRA site before you go.
Renting a bike
The portal maps public bike stations along the route (for example 斗南車站前站, 雙鐵綠廊(延平路二段554巷) and 雙鐵綠廊(建國三路)), but does not name the operator, and YouBike's service area list does not include Yunlin County. No rental shop was verified.
Confirm hours, rates and availability directly with the provider. Cycle.tw does not take bookings.
Toilets, water and food
The portal lists Dounan Station as a bike transfer station with toilets, accessible toilets, water, a map and platform ramps for bikes. Toilets and water along the path are not listed.
Safety and conditions
- Slow down at the short road links and crossings, where the portal shows mixed traffic.
- Little shade is shown along the farmland; carry water in summer.
- Check the Central Weather Administration forecast before you go. Heavy rain, typhoons and earthquakes close paths, river parks and roads, sometimes for weeks.
- Wear a properly fitted bike helmet, whatever the law says for your bike.
When to go
Mornings and cooler months.
