Geojing Bridge Introduction
The Qishan Landscape Bridge is a pedestrian and bicycle walkway that spans the Nanzixian River, located upstream of the Qishan Bridge. It was converted from the sugarcane railway used during the Japanese colonial era for transporting sugarcane. During the Typhoon Morakot in 2009, the old landscape bridge's piers were too closely spaced, obstructing driftwood and floodwaters, which was considered a contributing factor to the collapse of the Qishan embankment and flooding in the urban area. After reconstruction in 2013, the spacing between the piers was increased and the old structure was reinforced, allowing this shared memory of the local community to be preserved. The landscape bridge is 536 meters long and serves not only as a safe passage for students in the Qishan and Qijou areas but also as a great spot for visitors to pause and admire the beautiful mountains and rivers. At night, the piers and bridge deck are illuminated, creating a visually stunning contrast with the Qishan Bridge, making it one of the most beautiful night views in Qishan.
