Kinmen Bridge Introduction
The Kinmen Bridge, located in the Dongshi District, originally had only a gentle stream flowing across the two banks, and residents relied on wading through the water to interact with each other. For the safety of the elderly, women, and children, the bridge was constructed in the 15th year of the Showa era (1940). Due to the outbreak of the Pacific War at that time, all the cement was requisitioned, forcing local people to use glutinous rice, lime, and brown sugar as binding materials, giving it a flexible characteristic. Even during the 921 Earthquake, there was no damage. The unique construction method and shape of the bridge have considerable preservation value, especially for the safety of local residents.
