Old Donghe Bridge, Historic bridge in Chenggong, Taiwan.

The Old Donghe Bridge spans 127 meters across the Mawuku River, connecting Chenggong Township with Donghe Township through its concrete structure and dual-design piers.

Constructed in 1926 during Japanese rule as Jikuen Bridge, the structure underwent reconstruction in 1953 following typhoon damage while preserving its original tower heights.

The bridge received recognition as a Historic Building of Taiwan in 2002, reflecting its importance in connecting communities and preserving regional engineering heritage.

The pedestrian-only bridge measures 4.65 meters in width and rests on different foundation types: hard limestone soil at the north end and soft sedimentary rock south.

The bridge incorporates two distinct architectural styles in its support system: an arch-shaped pier on the Chenggong side and a framed pier on the Donghe side.

Location: Taitung County
