National Chung Hsing University Riverside Campus Introduction
The Hanjing People's Scenic Bridge is an important facility for the overall environmental improvement of Hanjing Creek. It is 48 meters long and 4.5 meters wide, designed to mimic the shape of the Cambridge University’s River Cam, constructed with stone and imitation wood materials. It features nighttime landscape lighting, providing a continuous recreational route for residents of Dali District and the southern area, while enhancing the riverside characteristics and local highlights. The Hsing Chiao Bridge is located over Hanjing Creek at the back of National Chung Hsing University, built under the plan of the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ Water Resources Agency, aiming to create a recreational river comparable to the River Cam in the UK, offering citizens a waterfront attraction. Here, a stormwater park, bike paths, resting platforms, activity squares, artificial wetlands, and scenic bridges are planned as recreational spaces, incorporating concepts of natural ecology, energy conservation, carbon reduction, and community participation to create a multifunctional quality environment around the water area, enhancing the aesthetics and vitality of regional drainage. Walking, exercising, fishing, picnicking, kayaking, and enjoying street performances... the beautiful waterfront Hsing Chiao Bridge has become an indispensable stress-relief space for nearby residents.
