Daping Red Bridge

Daping Red Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the Dahan River in Taoyuan and links two road sections. It features red-painted structures and a walking deck with clear views of the water below.

The original structure was built in 1934 as a simple wooden and bamboo construction. It was later rebuilt as a modern suspension bridge and has been renewed several times since then.

The entrance shows a blend of local building traditions with modern touches. People walking here notice red beams and decorative details that reflect different periods coming together in one space.

The bridge is easily accessed on foot or by bicycle and has benches along the walkway for resting. The best time to cross is early morning or evening when there is less traffic.

The bridge underwent major renewal in 2001 with upgraded cable systems and longer spans for better safety. These improvements made it one of the more reliable structures in the area.
