Sanzhi Sanbanqiao Introduction
Sanban Bridge, located upstream of Datun River in the Sanzhi District of New Taipei City, spans the Datun River and is constructed in three segments using stone slabs. It is hidden beneath the new "Sande Bridge" and measures approximately 18 meters in length and 1.3 meters in width. In the Qing Dynasty, it served as an important route for residents of the Jinshan, Shimen, and Sanzhi mountain areas to reach Tamsui. Due to improved transportation, the Taipei County (now New Taipei City) government built a new bridge, "Sande Bridge," in 1933 to facilitate vehicle and pedestrian traffic. According to the inscription next to the bridge, the bridge body is constructed in three segments of stone slabs, thus named "Sanban Bridge."
