Houtanjing Sky Bridge

"The Houtanjing Sky Bridge (猴探井天空之橋) in Nantou is the longest suspension bridge in Taiwan, measuring 204 meters in length with 265 steps and a height difference of 5.65 meters between the two ends. Those who are afraid of heights may want to assess their comfort level before visiting, but for travelers who enjoy collecting beautiful scenery, the bridge offers excellent panoramic views of the Changhua Plain. Visitors can also enjoy watching the sunset from another spot on the bridge, making it a great recreational destination.

The entrance fee is 50 NTD per person, and the bridge is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., making it suitable for both elderly and young visitors. Upon entering, visitors can first walk across the Houtanjing Sky Bridge (猴探井天空之橋) to admire the scenery. There are shops within the area where visitors can purchase drinks, ice cream, and snacks, and they can also relax and enjoy the distant views in the hammock area. Afterward, visitors can proceed to the observation deck to view the ""Smiling Staircase"" and then visit the Wenxuan Temple.

Visitors can also consider visiting the nearby attraction, the Shimmer Forest, to try pineapple cakes and chicken thorn tea, and then visit the oldest lychee tree in Taiwan, the 400-year-old Litchi King (with a parking lot at the rear) and the Fuziang Palace with the Thousand-Hand Guanyin Tree.
