跨海大橋的英文是 "Cross-Sea Bridge". Introduction
The Penghu Cross-Sea Bridge is a total length of 2,494 meters, spanning the Hohai Waterway between Bajia and Xiyu (Fishery Island). The water flow is rapid, making it famous for dangerous currents in the Penghu waters. Every winter, when the northeast monsoon arrives, the waves become turbulent and sailing becomes difficult. Therefore, construction of the cross-sea bridge began in 1965 and was completed and opened to traffic in 1970 to solve the transportation difficulties between Xiyu. Subsequently, due to severe corrosion and bridge collapses, the land dam was widened in 1984, and a new two-lane bridge was completed and opened to traffic in 1996. From a distance, it resembles a long rainbow over the sea, providing not only sightseeing value but also allowing smooth transportation between Xiyu and Bajia. To this day, the northern sea area on the Xiyu side of the bridge still retains early concrete pillars and frames, while on the Xiyu side, there are weathered bridge piers that explain how early electricity for Xiyu was transmitted across the sea by high-voltage power lines, marking a poignant history of the old bridge's retirement.
