After the 921 earthquake in 1999, the Yuteng Broken Bridge was designated as a memorial to the earthquake in 2000.
You can come to this broken bridge by taking a small train. In fact, there is still a certain history, but I personally feel that it is more ordinary. Although it is a bit mottled, it is a bit historical, but it is just to see, just pass by, the small train is still more attractive, more fun.
The two most popular attractions of the Taitung Railway Jiushan Line are Shengxing Station and Longteng Broken Bridge. Longteng Broken Bridge and Shengxing Station were built by the Japanese who ruled Taiwan at the time. The whole bridge is bricked with glutinous rice, which is one of the few glutinous rice bridges that remain in Taiwan. The Longteng Broken Bridge with beautiful geometric arcs, a column made of red bricks towering on the roadside, only the piers are left for tourists to enjoy, although you can not see the complete style of the Longteng Broken Bridge in the past, but the remaining piers are also unique.
The bridges broken by the earthquake, the arched buildings made of red bricks, the ruins and the barren grasses are sad but there is another beauty
Longteng Broken Bridge and Shengxing Station are the two major attractions of the old mountain line, and are known as "Taiwan Railway Art Excellence". Longteng Red Brick Arch Bridge was built by Guangdong masters in 1905. The arch bridge made of red brick cement is very strong, but it is still not invincible to the earthquake of April 21, 24, of the Republic of China. Now only one pier is left. Now these brick red pier relics stand between the green mountains and forests, a historical witness, and a landmark with a sense of vicissitudes of beauty.
Longteng Broken Bridge, Taiwan representative building in 1905, brick cross-arched railway bridge, open to traffic is regarded as Taiwan's pride. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in the Hsinchu earthquake in 1935. The ancient tree and old vine still record the glory of that year.
