Jyunghui Bridge Introduction

"Lùqiáo Kuàlàng" - One of the Eight Scenic Spots of Zhuluo in the past. After heavy rain, the creek swells, and the waves on both sides surge, resembling a stampede of horses, which is truly spectacular. Thus, "Lùqiáo Kuàlàng" became one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Zhuluo, officially recognized in the early post-World War II period (37th year of the Republic of China). After its construction, the White Egret Bridge not only facilitated transportation for residents on both banks but also gradually became the main bridge connecting Chiayi City to Alishan, with the rapid increase in foot and vehicle traffic. The Origin of the Name "Jūnhuī Bridge": Later, on August 7, 48th year of the Republic of China, the White Egret Bridge was destroyed by flooding during a disaster (commonly referred to as the 8-7 Flood). The reconstruction was undertaken by the military personnel stationed at the time, and it was finally completed and opened to traffic in the 49th year of the Republic of China. To commemorate the hard work of the military, the name was changed from "White Egret Bridge" to "Jūnhuī Bridge." Reference Information: Chiayi County Chronicle - Volume One Land Chronicle; Chiayi City Literature Issue Eight - Introduction to the Yidu Monument Area of Bajhang Creek; Mini History Encyclopedia. In the eighth year of Shōwa (1933), during the Japanese colonial period, a new cement bridge was built by the Chiayi City Office here, measuring over 500 feet long and over 7 zhang high, with railings on both sides, and the bridge was painted grayish-white. From a distance, it resembled a flock of white egrets neatly arranged and flying over the water, which is why it was called "White Egret Bridge" (also known as Guò Lù Bridge) at that time. Attraction Construction: The original cement bridge was washed away, and now it stands as Jūnhuī Bridge.
