Junhui Bridge Introduction
"Luh Bridge Over Waves" - Once one of the Eight Scenic Views of Chulo, after heavy rainfall, the river swells, and the waves on both banks surge like a herd of galloping horses, making it very spectacular. Hence, "Luh Bridge Over Waves" was designated as one of the Eight Scenic Views of Chulo in the early post-World War II period (Year 37 of the Republic of China). After the completion of the White Egret Bridge, it not only facilitated the transportation for residents on both sides but also gradually became the main bridge connecting Chiayi City to Alishan, with an increasing number of pedestrians and vehicles. The Origin of the Name "Junhui Bridge" - Later, on August 7, Year 48 of the Republic of China (commonly known as the "87 Flood Disaster"), the White Egret Bridge was destroyed by floodwaters. The reconstruction work was undertaken by the military personnel stationed at the time, and it was finally completed and opened to traffic in Year 49. To commemorate and appreciate the hard work of the military, the name "White Egret Bridge" was changed to "Junhui Bridge," which is the origin of its name.

In the year Showa 8 (1933), during the Japanese colonial period, the Chiayi City Office built a new cement bridge here, measuring over 500 feet long and more than 7 feet high, with railings on both sides. The bridge was painted in gray and white, and from a distance, it resembled a group of white egrets flying in formation over the water, which is why it was called "White Egret Bridge" (also known as Guo Luh Bridge). Current attraction: The original cement bridge has been destroyed and is now Junhui Bridge.
"Luqiao Kua Lang" - One of the Eight Views of Zhu Luo in the past
