National Chung Hsing University Kang Chiao Introduction
The Hanxi Pedestrian Scenic Bridge is an important facility for the overall environmental improvement of the Hanxi drainage system. It is 48 meters long and 4.5 meters wide, resembling the shape of the Mathematical Bridge of Cambridge University. Constructed using stone and imitation wood materials, it is equipped with nightscape lighting to provide a continuous recreational pathway for residents of Dalin District and the South District, enhancing riverside features and local highlights. The Hsing Wu Kang Bridge is located on the Hanxi River behind National Chung Hsing University and was built under the Kang Bridge project planned by the Water Resources Agency of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The goal is to create a recreational river that can rival the River Cam in the UK, providing citizens with a waterside attraction. The area features a flood retention park, bike paths, rest platforms, activity squares, constructed wetlands, and scenic bridges, integrating natural ecology, energy conservation, and community participation concepts. This creates a multifunctional and quality environment around the water body, enhancing the aesthetics and vitality of regional drainage. Activities such as walking, exercising, fishing, picnicking, kayaking, and enjoying street performances make the beautiful waterside Kang Bridge an essential stress-relief space for local residents.
