The Han River (Chinese: t=旱溪|p=Hànxī, lit. "dry creek") is a river located in Taichung, Taiwan. The river flows southwards from Gonglaoping in Fengyuan District until it joins the Dali River near Provincial Highway 74 in Dali District.[1]

Even though the river is wide, it's relatively low discharge means that the river runs dry for most of the year, hence the name.[2] A bike path known as the "Han River Bike Trail" (旱溪自行車道) runs alongside the river between Fengyuan and Dali.[3]
