Chihsan Scenic Bridge is a pedestrian and bicycle pathway that crosses Nanzixian Creek, located upstream opposite Chihsan Bridge. It was constructed by renovating the five-shaft narrow-gauge railway tracks used during the Japanese colonial era to transport sugarcane by the sugar factories. In 2009, the former scenic bridge was considered a contributing factor to the dike breach and city-wide flooding during the Typhoon Morakot disaster, as its densely spaced piers obstructed driftwood and surged floods. In 2013, the bridge underwent reconstruction, with increased spacing between piers and reinforcement of the original structure, preserving it as a cherished local memory. Spanning 536 meters in length, Chihsan Scenic Bridge not only serves as a secure passage for students in Chihsan and Chihwei areas but also offers an ideal vantage point for visitors to enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding rivers and mountains. At night, when the piers and deck are illuminated with lights, the different architectural styles of Chihsan Bridge and its counterpart shine together, forming the most beautiful view of Chihsan at night.
