Taiwan Day 23: 19 JUNE 2011 (南投竹山)


台中 trip :: second day! Heading to 南投竹山!

Let's me share a bit description of 梯子吊桥 (ladder suspension bridge).

梯子吊橋(天梯),位於南投縣竹山鎮大鞍里,梯子吊橋全長136公尺,總共208階,兩端高度落差為20公尺,為世界第二座斜張階梯式吊橋;由於竹山梯子吊橋(天梯)附近有大鞍嶺及梯子嶺,經過大鞍里民共同命名為『梯子吊橋』,也被稱為『天梯』。

The Sky Ladder (ladder suspension bridge) is situated in Da’an Village, Zhushan Township of Nantou County, the ladder suspension bridge was the first of its kind in Taiwan and the second in the world. The structure bridges the Tiziling River, with a total length of 136m and 208 steps; the height difference between the 2 sides is a staggering 20m! By standing on the bridge, one will be surrounded by steep cliffs and rampant waterfalls.

This is one of the very special and famous tourist attraction in 南投竹山. Not much people know this place because there is no public transport such as bus to here. This is because it is up to the hill and the road is winding and narrow. So only got car or van can go up to the hill and reach this destination. We (Mong Huey, Shi Jie and I) book a van and went up there! =)

A very hot weather today. But, this can't stop us from going up and see the most nice and beautiful scenery. We climb all the way step by step to the ladder suspension bridge. Sweating all the way... Awesome! Finally we reached! =)

Now, let's the photo do the presentation! "One picture is more than a thousand word" :>
