Pingtung’s “Mountain-River Glass Suspension Bridge” spans the Ailiao River and is located between Sandi Village in Sandimen Township and Beiyeh Village in Maolin Township, Pingtung. With a total length of about 262 meters and a height of approximately 45 meters above the ground, it is currently the longest suspension footbridge in Taiwan. The Maolin entrance is located at the Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Cultural Park, while the Sandimen entrance is adjacent to Fuguyuan Restaurant. The glass bridge serves not only as a transportation route but also showcases the local indigenous culture and history. To accommodate the construction of a new tourist service center, the glass bridge will close the Sandimen entrance from October 1 until the end of the year, while the Maolin entrance remains open. To maintain recreational quality and visitor safety, only 250 people per session will be allowed through reservations.

The design of the “Mountain-River Glass Suspension Bridge” was created by indigenous art master Sakuliu Pavavaljung, drawing inspiration from the glass beads of the Paiwan and Rukai tribes. Glass beads are inlaid on both sides of the bridge, accompanied by light installations at night, and 32 storyboards showcasing indigenous culture are placed along the approach to the bridge. Large stone installations are set up at both ends of the bridge, symbolizing ethnic unity with sweet potatoes and taro, along with mosaic artworks created by students from Sandimen Drem School and Maolin Beiyeh Elementary School. During the closure of the Sandimen end of the bridge (from October 1 to December 31), the shuttle bus service between the Maolin and Sandimen ends will be suspended.
