Kinmen Bridge

Taichung Attractions

金門橋

The Kinmen Bridge located in Dongshi District originally had only a gentle stream flowing between the two banks, and residents would have to wade through the water to interact. To ensure the safety of the elderly, women, and children, the bridge was constructed in the 15th year of the Showa era (1940 AD). However, due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, all cement was requisitioned, leading the local people to utilize glutinous rice, lime, and brown sugar as binding materials. This resulted in a flexible structure that sustained no damage even during the 921 earthquake. The unique construction technique and design possess considerable preservation value, especially in ensuring the safety of local residents.

Kinmen Bridge Introduction

Located in Dongshi District, the Kinmen Bridge originally had only a gentle stream flowing between its banks, requiring residents from both sides to wade across. To ensure the safety of women, children, and the elderly, the bridge was built in the 15th year of the Showa era (1940 AD). At that time, due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, all cement was requisitioned, so the local people could only use glutinous rice, lime, and brown sugar to create a binding material. This gave the bridge a flexible quality, allowing it to withstand the 921 earthquake without any damage. Its unique construction methods and design hold significant preservation value, especially for the safety of local residents.
