Dakeng Scenic Bridge Introduction
In the Beitun District of Taichung, there are several culturally themed scenic bridges, including the Xin Taohua Yuan Bridge, Romantic Lover Bridge, Dakeng Fresh Bridge, Blue Sky White Cloud Bridge, and Hae Tian Bridge. These bridges connect to Road No. 4, facilitating convenient transportation for residents traveling to Beitun, Dakeng, and Taiping Districts. The creative designs of the scenic bridges exude unique charm both day and night, making them popular spots for photography and relaxation. With fewer vehicles and a spacious environment, the area is ideal for night bike rides, allowing visitors to enjoy the tranquil riverside scenery while admiring the increasingly beautiful views of the bridges at night. The Xin Taohua Yuan Bridge is the earliest and largest among the Dakeng scenic bridges, featuring a white culvert design with pedestrian walkways on both sides, perfect for leisurely strolls and enjoying the scenic views. Notably, the maple leaf decorations along the walkway are a distinct feature of the Dakeng area. The Romantic Lover Bridge, resembling a harp from the side, is constructed from slanted steel pipes in a pink hue, designed specifically for pedestrians with glass flooring. The classical and elegant Blue Sky White Cloud Bridge uses blue and white in its design, adopting a style reminiscent of a temple arch, echoing the blue sky and white clouds above. As night falls, the illuminated bridge dazzles with enchanting light, resembling an entrance to a fantastic amusement park. The Dakeng Fresh Bridge, crafted in the shape of a fountain with ribbed features, symbolizes the lush mountainous landscape of the Dakeng area. Its unique arc and symmetrical design resemble a butterfly in flight, leading some to refer to it as the "Butterfly Bridge." Adorned with brilliant lights at night, the bridge transforms into a magnificent light and water show, with green arched steel beams resembling spraying water, complemented by bright blue lights at the ends of the beams, showcasing vibrant dynamism and beauty, attracting numerous photography enthusiasts throughout the day. The scenic bridges are located near the Xindu Ecological Park and Dakeng Scenic Area, allowing for a plan to explore both locations in the morning and return to the scenic bridges in the evening to enjoy the cool breeze and starlit night, spending a romantic and delightful day. The Hae Tian Bridge, featuring a white mountain shape, extends from Song Zhu 5th Road across Hanjing East and West Roads, symbolizing the meaning of "the sea and sky in line, hands linked together." The overall pink appearance of the Romantic Lover Bridge conveys a romantic and warm feeling; further details can be found on the Dakeng Pink Lover Bridge attraction page.
