The red, striking arched steel bridge of the Hualien Port Scenic Bridge, combined with the Venus Art Gallery, brings new vitality to the harbor and has become a popular spot for Instagram photos. In recent years, Taiwan’s Port Authority has been developing the Hualien Port waterfront recreation area. In addition to completing various key public facility renovations within the recreation zone, this year it has planned the “Hualien Port Scenic Bridge Renovation Project.” The project will feature ocean-themed totems painted on the bridge body and piers, and to enhance the nighttime maritime atmosphere, specially designed LED light art with colorful night-time effects will be installed on the bridge.

The Hualien Port Branch has allocated a budget of NT$24 million for the “Hualien Port Scenic Bridge Renovation Project.” In addition to adding painted designs and creating nighttime LED light art, the bridge’s walkway surface will be changed from steel plates to wood-like materials to improve visitor comfort.

The open space connecting the old warehouse and the bridge has also been specially designed with landscape and art installations, including added pedestrian pathways and nighttime lighting. Once completed, it will successfully create a new relaxing atmosphere for the Hualien Port recreation area.
