Monkey Mountain Sky Bridge Introduction
Located in the Monkey Lookout Recreation Area of Fukshan Village in Nantou City, it is a famous attraction in the Bagua Mountain Scenic Area. The valley's terrain appears like a well, and in front of the valley stands a small hill that resembles a monkey crouching down to look into the well, hence the name "Monkey Lookout." The Bagua Mountain Range spans Nantou and Changhua, with two hiking trails above: one connects to a viewing pavilion in a tea garden, while the other leads to the lookout platform of Monkey Lookout. Originally, there was a valley between the two, but now they are connected by a sky bridge, enhancing convenience and becoming a highlight of the recreation area. The park features beautiful garden trails and scenic corridors, and at the end of the park, there is a lookout tower where visitors can overlook the beautiful scenery of the Changhua Plain; within the tower is a well that allows visitors to experience the feeling of a monkey looking into a well. The sky bridge stretches across the valley of Monkey Lookout, making it the longest sky ladder in Taiwan and the first suspension bridge of its kind in the country, measuring 204 meters in length with a total of 265 steps and a height difference of 5.65 meters at both ends. The bridge can accommodate up to 150 people, providing excellent views of the Changhua Plain, and on clear days, the Xiluo Bridge and the mouth of the Zhuoshui River can also be seen in the distance, presenting stunning scenery. As the sun sets, the sky bridge transforms as LED lights automatically light up, appearing from afar as a smile hanging in the gloomy mountains, adding a unique charm, thus it is also known as the "Smiling Sky Ladder." On the other side of the suspension bridge, there is a scenic platform, which, although not positioned at a high point, still serves as an excellent sunset viewing area. The Monkey Lookout Recreation Area is also known for its beauty as "Sunset Valley," and if your visit coincides with sunset, find a good spot, pause, and enjoy the golden beauty cast by the afterglow. In addition to the famous sky ladder attracting crowds, the recreation area is also equipped with parking lots and a visitor service center, making travel to this site more convenient.
