- The Xiluo Bridge
Points of Interest & Landmarks • Bridges

The bridge is the most well-known landmark of Xiluo in Taiwan. In former days, Xiluo was a major hub of Zhuo Shui River for transportation and the bridge was essential. The construction started in 1937 when Taiwan was still a Japanese colony but when Japan took part of WWII in 1941, the government focus on their war effort and the construction was eventually suspended. Postwar, the construction started again and was finished in 1952. When it was completed, it was the longest bridge in the Far East and second to the Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco. If you go visit the bridge on the late afternoon, you will also be able to see some kites flying and a market where you can enjoy coffee and other specialties. 這座橋是台灣西螺最著名的地標。過去，西螺是濁水溪交通的主要樞紐，橋樑至關重要。建設始於1937年，當時台灣仍然是日本的殖民地，但是當日本在1941年參加第二次世界大戰時，政府專注於他們的戰爭努力，建築最終被暫停。戰後，建築再次開始，於1952年完工。建成後，它是遠東地區最長的橋樑，舊金山金門大橋的第二座橋樑。如果您在下午晚些時候去參觀大橋，您還可以看到一些風箏和市場，您可以在那裡享用咖啡和其他特色菜。 See more..

4.0 Nine-Curve Lane (67 reviews)
- An ancient Traditional Lane in Taiwan
Points of Interest & Landmarks

This is a well kept traditional lane in Taiwan back then. We are lucky to come over here right after a heavy raining. Thus we pretty much enjoy all scenes by ourselves only and breathing fresh air after the raining. As the name stating, the lane is quite curvature and interesting. The purpose of the curvature is anti-theft and minimizing chilly wind blowing from ocean. However, there are a lot of abandoned (nobody live in there) houses in the lane. It may be resulting from the lane is a bit too narrow to have some small touring business. It’s a must visit spot in Lugang for local culture and architecture. See more..

- Skywalk
Spent 1-2 hours Hiking Trails

I discovered this unique mountain trail while visiting nearby Baguashan Buddha. This is the longest skywalk Trail in Taiwan. The mountain area contains numerous indigenous trees which are described on information plaques along the trail. I passed a baseball park, school, a former military encampment, a military cemetery, parks and ended up at a local museum/community center. The views from atop the skywalk trail overlooking Changhua City and beyond are incredible. The trail isn’t long (under one mile), but I took my time, taking in the surroundings and spent a good 45 minutes walking. Evening is a nice time to visit - cooler temperatures and beautiful sunsets.

- The Tienhoa Temple built by the Emperor
Points of Interest & Landmarks

Revisited here to thank Mazu protecting us as what we prayed for last year. Believe or not, we totally mistaken thought this is the other Temple which is more we’ll known. We drove there and shockingly found out it’s totally different. This temple is located in the Old Street and was built by Chanlong Emperor. Actually, we like this better because it’s not that business atmosphere. We worshiped and will be back next year again! See more..

- A piece of history hidden off busy road

Tucked away in a nondescript building along one of Lukang’s busy shopping streets is the restored home of one of the area’s notable residents. The house boasts numerous rooms and courtyards. Inside many of the rooms are items that belong to the family - not museum quality, but fascinating to see as it brought an authenticity to the house. There is a caretaker/guide on site who did his best to point out certain items of importance as well as unique styles of craftsmanship. Admission is free. I spent about 30 minutes here.
