Houli Bikeway Bridge, Railway bridge conversion in Houli District, Taichung, Taiwan.
The Houli Bikeway Bridge is a 382-meter steel structure that crosses the Dajia River, connecting cycling paths through Taichung. The bridge features exposed steel trusses and was originally designed for railway use.
The structure was built in 1908 during Japanese rule and originally carried railway traffic. It was later converted into a public cycling path.
The bridge is part of a cycling route that locals and visitors use daily to explore the city by bike. This recreation path has become a gathering place where people of different ages come together.
The cycling path is easily accessible during daylight hours and can be explored on foot or by bike. Visitors should note that early morning or late afternoon offers the most peaceful experience on the bridge.
The bridge connects to Taiwan's longest abandoned railway tunnel, a 1,273-meter passage known as Tunnel No. 9. This connection creates an extended cycling route that passes through a historic rail infrastructure.
