The bridge design motif references the 'dragon kiln' (longyao), a traditional tunnel-shaped wood-fired kiln used in Yingge's long-standing pottery industry.
The structure connects the Yingge Ceramics Museum directly to the northern riverside bicycle trails.
It is specifically engineered as a non-motorized passage to support eco-tourism and recreation along the Dahan River corridor.
The bridge's S-curve layout is intended to evoke the movement of a dragon, mirroring the topography of the riverbanks.
The project serves as a key piece of infrastructure integrating urban development with regional greenway connectivity.
Sanying Longyao Bridge is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge spanning the Dahan River in New Taipei City, connecting the Yingge and Sanxia districts. Its design features a distinct S-shaped curvature inspired by the traditional dragon kilns historically significant to the local ceramics industry. The steel structure measures 225 meters in length and 13.5 meters in width, with a total length of 800 meters including approach ramps. It serves as a vital link in the regional riverside bicycle path network. The bridge structure is illuminated at night with LED lighting sequences. It provides direct connectivity between the Yingge Ceramics Museum and the Sanxia district's parkland areas. The path surface is constructed for shared use between pedestrians and cyclists.
