The Changhong Bridge spans the Xiu Gu Lan River, connecting the settlements of Jingpu and Gangkou, and serves as the endpoint for river rafting on the Xiu Gu Lan River. The bridge consists of two parts: an old bridge and a new bridge. The new bridge features a vibrant orange-red color, with a dedicated bicycle and pedestrian walkway divided into fast and slow lanes. In conjunction with the rafting activities, eight observation platforms have been set up. From the bridge, one can enjoy a distant view of the shipping entrance to Xibulan Island.

Changhong Bridge Introduction

The elegant arch of the Changhong Bridge spans across the estuary of the Xiuguluan River, creating a beautiful rainbow shadow at the intersection of mountains and sea, becoming a famous photo landmark on the East Coast. This location also serves as the endpoint for rafting excursions, where tired yet satisfied rafts come ashore. Stroll along the riverside path, where water birds delicately forage along the riverbed, and bicycles pass by. The plants on both sides change with the seasons, and if you feel weary, you might consider taking a break at the nearby New Pacific No. 1 Shop to enjoy a cup of afternoon tea and spend leisurely time. The nearby estuary island, known as Xibulan Island or Lion Ball Isle, is a green haven and a sacred place for the local Amis people. This island, formed by volcanic block rocks, retains a relatively natural ecological appearance due to the river's isolation. It is a great spot for ecological observation, attracting birds, migratory fish, and shrimp and crabs that forage at the river mouth.
