Geographical Bridge Introduction
The Qishan Landscape Bridge is a scenic pedestrian and bicycle walkway that spans the Nanzi Xian Creek, located opposite two points upstream of the Qishan Bridge. It was transformed from a sugar cane railway used during the Japanese colonial period. During the 2009 Morakot disaster, the old landscape bridge’s dense piers were believed to have obstructed driftwood and floodwaters, contributing to the breaching of the Qishan embankment and flooding in the urban area. In 2013, it was rebuilt with increased spacing between piers and reinforced structures to preserve this shared local memory. The landscape bridge is 536 meters long and serves as a safe passage for students in the Qishan and Qiwai areas, as well as a great spot for tourists to gaze at the beautiful mountains and rivers. At night, the illuminated piers and bridge surface, different in design from the Qishan Bridge, create a stunning night scene, becoming the most beautiful sight in Qishan.
