Kinmen Bridge

Taichung Attractions

金門橋

The Jinmen Bridge, located in Dongshi District, originally had only a gentle stream flowing between its banks, and the interaction between residents on both sides relied on wading across. To ensure 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 cement was requisitioned, leading local people to use materials like glutinous rice, lime, and brown sugar to create a binding agent. This unique composition gave the bridge a flexible quality, enabling it to withstand the 921 earthquake without any damage. The special construction methods and design are of considerable preservation value, particularly in terms of ensuring the safety of the local residents.

The Kinmen Bridge, located in Dongshi District, originally had only a gentle stream flowing between the two banks, requiring residents to wade through the water for interaction. To ensure the safety of the old, young, and women, the bridge was constructed in the 15th year of the Showa era (1940). However, due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, all cement was requisitioned, compelling local people to use glutinous rice, lime, and brown sugar as adhesive materials, resulting in a flexible structure. Even during the 921 earthquake, it sustained no damage. Its unique construction method and design have considerable preservation value, especially in terms of safety for the local residents.
