Bridges are transportation structures that connect mountains, valleys, and bodies of water, bringing great convenience to our lives. Since primitive times, humans have known how to use trees as bridges to cross various natural obstacles. Today, influenced by different cultures and architectural techniques, bridges also showcase distinctive local characteristics. Take the following ten bridges, for instance — have you seen any of them? Do any of them especially capture your heart? This is Part 2; we introduced five bridges in the previous part, and now we’ll show you the remaining five. Each one has its own unique charm. Next time you travel, why not go and take a walk across them?
Germany’s Rakotz Brücke
In Germany’s largest Rhododendron Park in Saxony, there is an ancient bridge built in the 19th century — the Rakotz Brücke. The most distinctive feature of this bridge is its slender, gently curved, semi-circular shape, which, together with its reflection on the calm water, forms a perfect circle. The park has no entrance fee and is easily accessible, making it a top choice for backpackers who love traveling in Germany.
Bulgaria’s Devil’s Bridge
The Rhodope Mountains in Bulgaria have long been famous for their picturesque scenery. Near the Rhodope Mountains, over the Arda River, stands a beautiful and elegant medieval stone arch bridge — the Devil’s Bridge (Devil’s Bridges). Built between 1515 and 1518 by the Ottomans, it is 56 meters long and features three arches. Because constructing such stone arch bridges was extremely difficult at the time, people believed that the successful completion must have involved the help of the devil, hence the name “Devil’s Bridge.”

Huangshan Buxian Bridge
In China's Huangshan Scenic Area, there is an arched stone bridge called Buxian Bridge, which spans suspended between two cliffs. Looking down from the bridge, you’ll see a bottomless abyss that is truly breathtaking. Combined with the often heavy humidity around Huangshan that creates a dreamy sea of fog, walking across it feels like floating among the clouds — a must-visit spot for adventure seekers.

Taipei Dahu Park Jindai Bridge
Dahu Park features a Chinese garden-style design and boasts a large lake covering approximately 10 hectares, offering beautiful scenery that has served as a filming location for many TV dramas and commercials. At the park’s center stands an arched bridge called Jindai Bridge, which is shaped like a full moon and thus also known as the Moon Bridge. In the early morning, the lake surface is crystal clear, and when paired with the ethereal mist, it forms a perfect reflection resembling a traditional Chinese ink painting, making visitors feel as though they are part of the artwork.
