Old Donghe Bridge (舊東河橋) - Spectral Codex

A historic bridge spanning the Mawuku River (馬武窟溪) between Chenggong and Donghe. It was originally built in 1920 and named Yoshida Bridge (吉田橋) after the engineer who designed its 1926 reconstruction as a cable suspension bridge. The current concrete structure dates back to a post-war reconstruction in 1953. Lightly restored to become a scenic pedestrian bridge since 1992 and designated a historic building in 2002.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
