Not sure where to go for fun this weekend? Wondering where to take stunning photos? The three uniquely designed bridges in Dakeng, Beitun District, Taichung — “Freshness Bridge,” “Blue Sky and White Clouds Bridge,” and “Romantic Lovers Bridge” — have recently become a huge trend. Since these three bridges are located very close to each other, they've become must-visit spots for many tourists.

The Romantic Lovers Bridge is approximately 100 meters long. During the day, the whole bridge has a faint pink hue; at night, lights are projected onto the bridge surface, making it look like a giant heart. The light colors also change in rotation — red, green, and blue.

Freshness Bridge, due to its distinctive shape — the arched symmetry of its bridge lamps resembles a pair of wings — is also known as the “Butterfly Bridge.” At night, when illuminated, its grand appearance and beautiful scenery are truly breathtaking.

The Blue Sky and White Clouds Bridge features blue and white as its main color scheme, giving it the feel of a castle. During the day, its design alongside the actual blue sky and white clouds offers an indescribable beauty; at night, under the lights, it presents a classic, dreamy aesthetic that makes you feel like you're abroad.

Whether during the day or at night, these three scenic bridges each showcase a different kind of beauty. Whether you make a special trip or just pass by on your way to the Lavender Forest in Xinshe, it’s a perfect place to snap some photos. However, unlike the Lover’s Bridge — which is a “pedestrian-only bridge” allowing people to walk freely — the other two bridges have vehicle traffic, so safety should definitely be a priority.
