History

Old Dongli railway station

The railway station was originally constructed in the southeast of the current station building when the line was not yet rerouted. After the line was rerouted, the new station building was constructed to be what is the current Dongli railway station today and the old station was named Old Dongli railway station (Chinese: 東里舊站). The old station now serves as the southern end of the 9.8-km long Yufu Bikeway (Chinese: 玉富自行車道) taking place of the old section of the railway line before the rerouting works.[2]

On 18 September 2022, six coaches of the Tze-chiang limited express which was stopping at the station derailed cause by the 2022 Taitung earthquakes.[3]
