The Dijiu Suspension Bridge is a pedestrian suspension bridge in Fanlu Township, Chiayi County, Taiwan. It crosses the Bazhang River.
The bridge, along with the Tianchang Suspension Bridge, was constructed in 1937.[1] Both were constructed during the Japanese rule of Taiwan, in celebration of the birthdays of the emperor and his wife. This bridge was particularly for the commemoration of the empress’s birthday, Chikyūsetsu in Japanese, or Dìjiǔ Jié in Chinese, hence the name Dijiu Suspension Bridge.
The bridge is accessible by bus from Chiayi Station of Taiwan Railways.[2]
