Jing'an Suspension Bridge Introduction
The Jing'an Suspension Bridge, located in the Shifen District of New Taipei City, is colorful and eye-catching. It sits between Shifen Village and Nanshan Village, near Shifen Station and Shifen Old Street, making it an important connecting bridge and the most prominent landmark in the Shifenliao area. The bridge has a long history, originally built to transport coal. After coal mining ceased, it was converted into a pedestrian-only thoroughfare, and it has fulfilled this role ever since. The suspension bridge is 128 meters long and serves as a connection between Shifen Village and Nanshan Village. Constructed in 1947 (the 36th year of the Republic of China) for coal transportation, it is situated close to Shifen Train Station and the Old Street, with the Keelung River flowing beneath it. The blue and white suspension bridge has also become a popular photo spot for visitors.
