'''Fengyuan District''' ({{zh|t=豐原區}}) is a [[District (Taiwan)|district]] located in north-central [[Taichung]], [[Taiwan]] on the south bank of the [[Dajia River]]. Fengyuan district is the third most populated district among former Taichung County, ranking after Dali and Taiping district. Fengyuan is recognized as Huludun in early times, meaning "gourd" in Chinese, for a gourd-shape pile of mud was found in Fengyuan by the aborigines. The rice yielded from Fengyuan is famous for its high quality and the bakery industry prospered in later decades. Because of the extraordinary location of the intersection of Taiwan railway west trunk and [[Dongshi District|Dongshi]] branch line, Fengyuan quickly expanded after World War II. It soon became one of the political, economical and communication centers of central Taiwan, playing an important role in the development of the central part of this island. Recently, Fengyuan faces the challenge of being marginalized after the amalgamation of [[Taichung County]] and Taichung City in December 2010.
