Geological Bridge Introduction
Chishan Landscape Bridge is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge that spans the Nanzi River, located upstream from Chishan Bridge, built on the transformed five-foot railway track that was used for transporting sugarcane during the Japanese colonial period. During the 2009 Morakot disaster, the old landscape bridge was deemed a cause of the flooding in Chishan due to its excessively dense piers that obstructed debris and floods, leading to the failure of the embankment and flooding in the urban area. It was rebuilt in 2013 with increased spacing between the piers and reinforced with old structures, preserving a collective memory of the local community. The landscape bridge is 536 meters long and serves as a safe route for students in the Chishan and Cihwei areas, as well as a great spot for tourists to enjoy the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. At night, the bridge piers and deck are illuminated, creating a stunning view that complements the uniquely shaped Chishan Bridge, making it one of the most beautiful sights of Chishan at night.
