Geological Bridge Introduction
The Qishan Landscape Bridge is a scenic pedestrian and bicycle bridge that spans the Nanzi River, located upstream of the Qishan Bridge. It was transformed from the sugarcane tramway used during the Japanese colonial period. During the 2009 Morakot disaster, the old landscape bridge's closely spaced piers were believed to obstruct driftwood and floodwaters, contributing to the collapse of the Qishan levee and flooding in the city. After reconstruction in 2013, the spacing of the piers was increased and the old structure was reinforced, preserving this local memory. 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 mountain and river scenery. At night, the piers and bridge surface are illuminated, creating a stunning contrast with the Qishan Bridge, making it one of the most beautiful sights in Qishan at night.
