Bicycle Scenic Bridge Introduction
In order to provide a safe and convenient riding space for cyclists, the Pingtung County Government has specially constructed a bridge exclusively for cyclists and pedestrians, known as the Bicycle Scenic Bridge, which spans Provincial Highway No. 1. The entire bridge is primarily built with a steel structure and painted white, featuring a distinctive arch made of two intercrossed red circular steel tubes. The eye-catching red arcs and streamlined design often become focal points of attraction. Motorcycles are strictly prohibited from crossing the Bicycle Scenic Bridge, and the bridge deck is mainly divided into two sections: a bike lane and a pedestrian walkway. The bike lane has a smooth surface that can accommodate two bicycles passing each other simultaneously, while the pedestrian walkway is solely for foot traffic and is paved with wooden planks. Standing on the bridge provides a clear view of the traffic flowing beneath. The scenic bridge is also equipped with rest areas, bike racks, and recreational route guides for visitors to recharge and plan their activities. When visiting the Bicycle Scenic Bridge, don't forget to take a detour to the Pingtung Linluo Sports Park. The park covers a spacious area and is lush with greenery, featuring well-planned recreational facilities, including an artificial lake, water square, leisure trails, baseball fields, basketball courts, and croquet fields. Additionally, the artistic atmosphere at Pingtung Linluo Sports Park is prominent, with large-scale public artworks visible throughout the park, making it a true art park. At the entrance plaza of the park stands a striking tower formed by interconnected circles, with a simple yet eye-catching design. As you continue into the park, the number of public artworks increases, including a memorial statue that represents Pingtung's glory, honoring Chiu Shuh-Ju, who won a bronze medal in taekwondo at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and Kuo Yi-Han, who won a bronze medal in weightlifting. The first jet engine trainer used in Taiwan is also on display here. After exploring the Pingtung Linluo Sports Park, visitors not only achieve recreational and sporting goals but also experience an artistic journey.
