Kinmen Bridge

Taichung Attractions

金門橋

Jinmen Bridge, located in Dongshi Township, originally had a gently flowing waterway separating the two banks, requiring residents to wade across for interaction. To ensure the safety of the elderly, women, and children, a bridge was constructed in the 15th year of the Showa era (1940). However, due to the outbreak of the Pacific War at that time, all cement was requisitioned, forcing local people to use glutinous rice, lime, and brown sugar as binding materials, resulting in a flexible structure that sustained no damage even during the 921 earthquake. The unique construction method and design hold significant preservation value, especially regarding the safety of local residents.

Kinmen Bridge Introduction

The Kinmen Bridge, located in Dongshi District, originally featured only a gentle stream flowing between the two banks, requiring residents on either side to wade across for interaction. For the safety of the elderly and children, the bridge was built in the 15th year of the Showa era (1940). However, due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, all cement was requisitioned, leading the local people to use materials like glutinous rice, lime, and brown sugar to create a binding agent. This resulted in a flexible structure that sustained no damage even during the 921 earthquake. The unique construction methods and design hold significant preservation value, especially for the safety of the local residents.
