Geographical Bridge Introduction
The Qishan Landscape Bridge is a scenic pedestrian and bicycle pathway bridge that spans the Nanzi River, located upstream of the Qishan Bridge. It was converted from the sugarcane railway used during the Japanese colonial period. In the aftermath of Typhoon Morakot in 2009, the old landscape bridge was considered a factor in the collapse of the Qishan levee and flooding in the urban area due to its closely placed piers that obstructed drifting logs and floodwaters. In 2013, the bridge was rebuilt with increased spacing between the piers and strengthened old structures, preserving a shared local memory. The landscape bridge is 536 meters long and serves as a safe passage for students in the Qishan and Qiwai areas going to school, as well as a great spot for visitors to enjoy the beautiful mountain and river scenery. At night, the piers and bridge deck are illuminated, creating a contrasting yet complementary appearance with the Qishan Bridge, making it one of the most beautiful night views in Qishan.
