The vibrant red arch stretches gracefully across the Tamsui River, wouldn’t you agree? That, my friends, is the Guandu Bridge. It’s not just a pretty face, though. The Guandu Bridge is a marvel of engineering, a 165-meter-long steel through arch bridge designed by the brilliant Tung-Yen Lin. Completed in 1983, this bridge was built to connect the Bali and Tamsui Districts of New Taipei City. Today, it’s a vital artery of the city, carrying the Provincial Highway 15 across the Tamsui River. But what makes the Guandu Bridge truly special are its observation buildings. On both banks of the river, six-story towers stand tall, offering breathtaking views of the bridge and its surroundings. Imagine yourself climbing to the top, the wind whipping through your hair as you gaze out at the panorama. From one side, you can see the Tamsui River estuary sparkling in the sunlight and the lush green landscape of the mangrove forests. Turn around, and you’ll be greeted by the serene beauty of the Guandu Temple and the bustling cityscape of Luzhou.
