Overview

The Tongluo Skywalk, also known as the Jiuhu Mountain Skywalk, is an elevated walkway spanning approximately 369 meters in length. It features a transparent glass-bottom section that allows visitors to view the terrain directly beneath their feet. The structure is built along a mountain ridge, providing panoramic views of the Miaoli landscape and the nearby industrial zones. It is situated within the Jiuhu Mountain area, which is historically significant for its annual tung blossom blooms. The design incorporates metal railing supports and a cantilevered platform that extends over the valley floor. Visitors navigate the skywalk through a series of connected pathways that integrate with the surrounding natural topography. The construction project was completed to boost regional tourism and provide an accessible vantage point above the tree canopy.
