The Guandu Bridge is a vital traffic link between Bali District in New Taipei City and Beitou District’s Guandu area in Taipei City. Its bright-red exterior makes the bridge a local landmark, and an observation walkway lets visitors take in the Tamsui River scenery. Night-time lighting turns the shores of Tamsui and Bali into a glittering starlight on the water. Separate bike and car lanes let cyclists enjoy the view at leisure. Asia’s first all-welded steel-arch bridge, it stretches 809 m in five continuous steel spans, with four 14.5-m traffic lanes and 2.25-m sidewalks on each side; the observation walkway offers panoramic river views.
