Kao-Ping Hsi Bridge

The Kao-Ping Hsi Bridge spans the Gaoping River with a central tower system that carries steel cables down to the bridge deck. The structure divides traffic into separate lanes for cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians.

The bridge opened on December 30, 1999, linking two previously separated areas in Taiwan's southern region. This completion represented an important step forward in the country's infrastructure development.

The structure has become a central gathering point for local festivals, where residents celebrate important events with performances and gatherings near its towers.

Visitors can walk or cycle across the bridge while viewing the river and surrounding landscape below. Designated viewing areas offer good vantage points to observe both the river valley and the bridge structure itself.

The bridge incorporates dedicated observation points where visitors can view both the engineering structure and the natural landscape of the Gaoping River valley.
