“A bridge named after a bird?” you might ask. Indeed, the Bai-ling Bridge stands right before you, named not for a single bird but for a hundred of them. The bridge’s name, Bai-ling, translates to “Hundred Herons,” reflecting a time when these elegant birds graced the skies above the Tamsui River. The Bai-ling Bridge, a rather modern addition to Taipei’s landscape, was completed in 1996. Don’t let its youth fool you though. This structure carries a legacy interwoven with Taipei’s growth. Imagine the bustling traffic, the echo of commerce, and the daily lives flowing across this very spot.
