Overview

Jingshan Suspension Bridge is a 54-meter-long structure located within Yangmingshan National Park, connecting the Shuangxi and Lengshuikeng areas. It stands as the only suspension bridge in the Yangmingshan region, built primarily to facilitate pedestrian access across the ravine. The bridge floor is composed of anti-slip materials to ensure safety during frequent mountain mists and rain. It serves as a critical junction for several popular hiking trails that lead toward Qingtiangang Grassland and the Cold Water Pit. The bridge spans a valley known for its geothermal influence, occasionally revealing faint sulfurous vapors from the underlying volcanic landscape. It offers an unobstructed vantage point of the lush surrounding mountain ridges and the valley floor below.
