Daping Red Bridge Introduction
Following the San Keng Bicycle Path, you can directly ride to the Daping Red Bridge, which was once voted as one of the top 100 historical buildings in the country. It is located in Sankeng Village, Longtan District, and is named for its red brick construction. The bridge was built in 1923, initiated by the residents of Daping and Sankeng, with funding from the local government (district office), donations from villagers, and contributions from Japanese benefactors. It was constructed by the Okura Corporation using the same clean bricks as those used in the Taoyuan Dazhong project. The bridge spans over ten meters in length and crosses the Datiekeng Stream. It was once the main connection for the villagers of Daping and features five elegant arches, remaining intact to this day. The area around the Daping Red Bridge has been developed into a waterfront park, making it a great place for leisure activities.
