National Chung Hsing University Bridge Introduction
The Huanxi Scenic Footbridge is an important facility for the overall environmental improvement of the Huanxi drainage area. It is 48 meters long and 4.5 meters wide, modeled after the design of the University of Cambridge's King's College Bridge, constructed with stone and imitation wood materials. It features night lighting for scenic effects, providing a continuous recreational pathway for residents in Dali District and the southern area, while enhancing the riverbank's character and local highlights. The Hsing University King's Bridge is located over the Huanxi behind National Chung Hsing University, built as part of the King's Bridge Project planned by the Ministry of Economic Affairs' Water Resources Agency. The goal is to create a recreational river that can rival the River Cam in the UK, offering citizens a water-friendly attraction. This area has been designed with flood retention parks, bike paths, resting platforms, activity squares, artificial wetlands, and scenic bridges, integrating concepts of natural ecology, energy conservation, carbon reduction, and community participation, thereby creating a multifunctional quality environment around the water and enhancing the aesthetic appeal and vitality of regional drainage. Walking, exercising, fishing, picnicking, kayaking, and enjoying street performances... the beautiful waterfront King's Bridge has become an indispensable stress-relief space in the lives of local residents.
