Changhong Bridge Introduction

The elegant arch of Changhong Bridge spans across both banks at the mouth of Xiuguluan River, creating a beautiful rainbow effect where the mountains meet the sea, making it a famous photography landmark on the East Coast. This spot is also the endpoint for river rafting, where tired yet satisfied rafts dock here. Strolling along the riverside path, water birds skillfully forage along the riverbed, while bicycles pass by. The plants on either side change with the seasons, creating different scenery. If you're tired, consider stopping by the nearby New Pacific Store No. 1 for a break, enjoying a cup of afternoon tea and relaxing. At the river mouth lies Xibilan Island, also known as Lion Ball Island, a verdant small island that is a sacred place for the local Amis people. It is a volcanic rock island that, due to the river's blockade, retains a relatively natural ecological appearance. Bird species foraging at the estuary, migratory fish, and shrimp and crabs gather here, making it a great spot for ecological observation.
