Coal Transport Bridge

Taipei Attractions

運煤橋

Coal from various pits to the coal preparation plant is transported by diesel locomotives. The coal transport bridge was originally built as a three-tier iron bridge, but was reconstructed in August 1965 due to mining needs into a steel and concrete arched bridge, officially named "Ruisan Bridge." Currently, complete remnants are preserved for visitors to recall the prosperous mining past. After July 2010, the coal transport bridge has been renovated to provide a safer way for visitors to walk on it. An old track has been restored on the bridge to create a scenario closer to the original gauge, along with a rail trolley to fully showcase the old mining atmosphere. At night, lights project onto the bridge, making this landmark one of the choices for photographers in Hohuan.

Address：42 Chailiao Road, Houtong, Ruifang District, New Taipei City 224, Taiwan (Yuanjing Pavilion), next to Keelung River.
