Asia's first parallel rotating bridge is in Kaohsiung!

Have you ever been to the Dagang Bridge, located next to the Kaohsiung Light Rail Pier 2 Dayi Station (C12)? In the past few years, Kaohsiung has undergone seven phases of urban development. In addition to the existing Kaohsiung 85 Sky Tower, the Kaohsiung National Library, Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall, and many fun amusement parks and department stores have opened one after another. But if you don't want to squeeze in with the crowds or just want to experience the beauty of the harbor, then you must go to the Dagang Bridge.

If you take the MRT, you can walk to Yanchengpu Station, or take the MRT to Kaixuan Station and then transfer to Dayi Station. After getting off the train, walk for 2 minutes and you will see the landmark. If you come by car, you may have to look for parking spaces as they are limited. The parking lot next to the bridge is cheaper than the nearby KW2 parking lot. I’ll tell you a secret: there are also free parking spaces in the park near the light rail station, so you can make use of them! 🤣

The Dagang Bridge began to be used on July 6, 2020. The bridge rotates at 3 pm every day. The main purpose is to facilitate the passage of ships, but I think it is also a highlight for sightseeing, because what we often see abroad is that the bridge is usually split in half to allow ships to pass smoothly. Before the rotation, the staff will ask tourists on the bridge to get off to avoid the danger of being thrown out during the rotation. I heard that there will be an additional show at 7pm on weekends. If you miss the 3pm show, you can still enjoy the beautiful lights and the rotating bridge ceremony at night❤️

But as the old saying goes, Kaohsiung is located in the south and the weather is also very warm. Bringing an umbrella can not only block the sun, but also the rain if you encounter occasional showers. Don't forget to wear sunscreen and drink water! Take the Kaohsiung MRT light rail to save energy and reduce carbon emissions while traveling easily across the Kaohsiung Dagang Bridge! Have a good time everyone🤗 #大港桥 #Kaohsiung #Pier2
