Matsu Bridge Introduction
The Horseshoe Bridge, although only a few dozen meters long, is an important bridge spanning the Pacific Ocean. On regular days, visitors can enjoy the sight of the crashing waves from the bridge. However, due to the varied coastal geography nearby, it is easy for towering waves to be stirred up during the northeast monsoon or typhoons, posing potential dangers. Visitors planning to go to the Horseshoe Bridge should check the local weather conditions to avoid any risks. The cliff above the inner edge of the bridge is known as the Horseshoe Ridge Cliff, where the Taiwan wild lily flowers bloom in April and May, making for a striking display. These white trumpet-shaped flowers, accented by orange-yellow stamens, contrast beautifully with the dark green stems and leaves. If lucky, one may witness the pure white blossoms covering the cliff, creating a lovely contrast with the white waves splashing near the outer side of the bridge. In addition to wave watching and flower viewing, there is a trail beneath the bridge that allows visitors to get close to the sea, making it a great place to relax in the natural shade on a sunny day.
