By: Little Traveler

When it comes to suspension bridges, Taiwan is truly unforgettable.Taiwan. PerhapsTaiwan’s mountainous terrain has led the government to believe that suspension bridges offer more convenient access. Following the Sky Bridge in Nantou and the Pingxi Glass Light Bridge,Pingtungwill also have its own sky bridge — the “Shanchuan Glass Suspension Bridge.” As the longest hammock-style suspension bridge in Taiwan, it spans 262 meters in length and hovers about 45 meters above the ground, equivalent to a 15-story building. Those afraid of heights are sure to get weak knees!

The glass suspension bridge connects Sandi Village in Sandimen Township and Beiyeh Village in Majia Township. The sides of the bridge are adorned with glass installation art, and the structure itself features glass beads representing the Paiwan and Rukai tribes as its theme. Additionally, there are 24 story plaques that introduce tribal tales. The bridge officially opened on December 26, with free entry for the first three months, though only 100 people are allowed on at a time, so crowd control measures will be in place.

After arriving at Beiyeh Village in Majia Township, visitors can explore the “TaiwanIndigenous Peoples Cultural Park,” which showcases exhibitions focused on theTaiwanindigenous peoples’ architectural art, clothing craftsmanship, and way of life. It not only presents a comprehensive depiction of tribal culture but also offers hands-on craft workshops and indigenous cuisine. With the completion of the suspension bridge, future trips toTaiwancan now include enriching experiences of indigenous culture.
