Hidden Gem Alert!A Parent-Child Must: Swings by the Breathtaking River and a Wind-Speed Slide

There are so many great spots in Yilan, you could sit down with a chair and still not finish talking about them all. The Qinghe Bridge, located on the northern side of Yilan City, is absolutely one of the best!!


The path is a bit narrow, but it’s smooth and easy to walk on, and it only takes a few steps to reach the swing area under the bridge
Wow~Swinging under a bridge for the first time really feels special. But the swings are set quite high, so little kids might need help from adults to get up there
The ground in the swing area is covered with a large sandy surface, unlike the usual soft mats in parks, and there are about seven swings with slightly varying heights~
The most touching part is~while swinging, you can also enjoy such a beautiful view. It really feels like you're abroad. Oh my gosh~Yilan City has such a gorgeous spot!!
My little Q girl, being the brave Q she is, rarely swings but had a blast this time, which even made mom want to join in and feel like a kid again for a few minutes—so wonderful~haha!
The big grassy field in front of the swings is an endless green expanse. Watching the little ones run around here, honestly~it’s even more exciting than going to an amusement park. Before becoming a mom, just thinking about going outdoors meant worrying about getting sunburned—sunburn, sunburn, sunburn. But now I’m totally carefree. For the little one, I’d say I love the outdoors, I love nature~XD
Beyond the grassy field along the river, there’s also a bike path that’s ridiculously scenic. Honestly, it’s no less amazing than Takeshi Kaneshiro’s Brando Road~!!
After enjoying the scenery under the bridge, head over to the auxiliary bridge attached to Qinghe Bridge for a stroll

And the bridge deck is made of wood planks in various colors, mixed with some iron mesh in between, so from a distance, the auxiliary bridge gives off a nostalgic yet creative cultural vibe!!!
In the middle section of the auxiliary bridge, there’s actually a tiny gym, which is quite humorous~It even includes fitness equipment that looks like rowing machines. This free riverside sky gym is really something else~
If you’re not afraid of heights, I really recommend coming to walk across this bridge. It’s not just cultural, but also offers thrilling views of the river below—you can take your time enjoying it, whether it’s like a romantic stroll or like the grandpa in the photo taking his grandson out for a walk. And the view from the bridge is super healing!!! And this is even on an overcast day;I bet it’s even better on a sunny one~Walking to the end of the auxiliary bridge lands you on the opposite bank of a Yilan River tributary. Crossing the river this way is actually quite fun~

Everyone!!!~This slide that looks pretty ordinary almost broke our daring Q’s courage. According to little Q’s dad, who was there to catch her, little Q’s facial expression while sliding down showed the three lines of Shin-chan. Skeptical Q-mom also went down next. Wah~ugh!! It felt like riding a roller coaster, especially when you hit that mid-turn little air bump—it made us almost want to shout: I don’t wanna do this anymore!!

All I can say is, daredevils are daredevils. Our bold Q actually went down four times on-site, and before heading home the next day, she even came back specially to go down two more times~I think Qinghe Bridge will definitely be on our must-do list next time we visit Yilan!!!
