Longteng bridge, Historical railway bridge in Sanyi Township, Taiwan

The brick and steel structure spans across a deep valley, featuring multiple stone arch supports with sections of damaged masonry still standing.

The bridge, completed in 1906 during Japanese colonial rule, served as a vital transportation link until the devastating 1935 Shinchiku-Taichū earthquake.

Local residents maintain traditions of gathering around the bridge during spring when white tung tree flowers bloom throughout the surrounding valley.

Visitors can reach the site by taking a train to Sanyi Station and then continuing their journey with a 15-minute taxi ride.

The remaining stone pillars and arches stand as physical records of two major earthquakes that altered Taiwan's architectural landscape in 1935 and 1999.
