A former Japanese colonial era railway bridge crossing Yema River (耶馬溪) in Puli, Nantou. It was built around 1915, facilitating railway access to the interior from Shuili. One pylon can be found in the long grass next to the highway while another remains on the opposite bank obscured by foliage. Further north is Imose Railway Bridge. Together they were collectively known as the Sister Bridges (姊妹橋 or 姐妹橋).
