Built around 1919 alongside the Beishankeng Power Plant, this suspension bridge serves as the only access route for Taipower employees to reach the intake valve for maintenance. A “Bridge General” spirit tablet (橋將軍神位) was installed at the bridge head to pray for safe passage, a rare or perhaps even unique example of bridge deification in Taiwan.

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.
