National Chung Hsing University Bridge Introduction
The Dry Creek Pedestrian Scenic Bridge is an important facility for the overall environmental improvement of the Dry Creek drainage system. It is 48 meters long and 4.5 meters wide, designed to resemble the shape of the University of Cambridge's "The Backs," constructed with stone and faux wood materials, and features night landscape lighting. It provides residents of Dali District and the southern area with a continuous recreational pathway while enhancing the riverside's characteristics and local highlights. The University of Science and Technology's "The Backs" is located on the Dry Creek behind National Chung Hsing University, built as part of the "The Backs" project planned by the Ministry of Economic Affairs' Water Resources Agency. The goal is to create a recreational waterway that rivals England's "The Backs," offering citizens a waterfront attraction. Here, there are flood retention parks, bike paths, rest platforms, event squares, artificial wetlands, scenic bridges, and other recreational spaces, incorporating concepts of natural ecology, energy saving, carbon reduction, and community participation to create a multifunctional high-quality environment around the water area, enhancing the aesthetics and vitality of regional drainage. Activities such as walking, exercising, fishing, picnicking, kayaking, and enjoying street performers make the beautiful waterside "The Backs" an indispensable stress relief space for local residents.
