The Penghu Sea-crossing Bridge, between the two islands of Baisha and Yuweng, spans the roaring Strait with surging waves and turbulent tides.
The Penghu Bridge connects the two major islands in the Penghu Islands and is one of the main traffic arteries of the Penghu Islands. There is an arched bridge gate at the head of the bridge, and the book "Penghu Sea-crossing Bridge" is written.
Built in 1965-1970. The length is 5541m, of which the bridge is 2160m long, the sea embankment is 320m long, and the road approach bridge is 3061m long.
The bridge deck is 4.6m wide, with a return lane every 300m and 76 piers, making it the second deep-sea bridge in East Asia after the Penang Bridge. It connects the three islands of Penghu, Baisha and Yuweng, the largest in the Penghu archipelago.
In the 1980s, the old bridge of the Penghu Sea-crossing Bridge was eroded by the sea tide and the northeast monsoon for many years, resulting in the decay of the bridge. In order to improve this situation, the new bridge was rebuilt, which was completed and opened to traffic in 1996, and the old bridge was successfully retired, and the new bridge of the Penghu Sea-crossing Bridge was completed so far.
After the completion of the cross-sea bridge, 400,000 tourists visit Penghu every year. Its beautiful arched bridge gate has become a symbol for Chinese and foreign tourists to take pictures.
