Houtanjing Sky Bridge

Houtanjing Sky Bridge, Suspension bridge in Shetou Township, Taiwan.

Houtanjing Sky Bridge is a pedestrian suspension bridge in Shetou Township, Changhua County, spanning 204 metres with 265 steps. Its deck hangs 150 metres above the valley floor, reached from a grey steel tower with a reddish-brown tiled roof edge; pinkish-red mesh railings line the narrow walkway, and thin vertical cables drop from the main cables above.

The Houtanjing Sky Bridge opened in 2016 in Shetou Township, Changhua County, as a pedestrian suspension bridge over a valley. It spans 204 metres and has 265 steps, with 150 metres of clearance to the valley floor below. Its name comes from the Houtanjing (monkey-probing well) locality, and the crossing was built as a tourism structure for the area.

The bridge's name comes from the Houtanjing ("monkey exploring the well") area of Shetou Township, a name tied to the shape of the local terrain rather than to any monkey. Crossing it is a leisure outing: visitors walk the 265 steps between the tower and the hillside, pausing at the pinkish-red mesh railings to look down the valley.

The crossing is well marked and accessible but requires moderate physical effort due to the height and distance involved. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes and allow adequate time for the crossing, especially during busier periods.

The deck carries 265 steps across its 204-metre span, so the crossing is a climb rather than a flat walk; the valley floor lies 150 metres below. The grey steel tower on the Shetou side, roofed in reddish-brown tiles, is where visitors step onto the walkway.
