It’s a paradise here. It’s a good place to get away from the hustle and bustle. However, this section of mountain road is very long and the road is not very big. Be careful of falling rocks. Pay special attention to this.

The "Baling Memorial Column", located at the Renaissance End, near the 7th line 45k+900, was built during the Japanese occupation period to commemorate the memorial column of the Barry Bridge (Iron Bridge) with a column height of about 7.5 meters. The circumference of the base is about 255 cm long. The standard cylinder is made of cement and cylinder. The top of the column is designed as a bead. The two ends are man-powered tunnels, witnessing the history of the North Cross Road. Today, the Old Bar Ridge Bridge has not been used as a driveway and has been replaced by the Xinqiao Baling Bridge. The tunnel displays Atayal art creations, traditional costumes and Fuxing Township specialties. To allow visitors to have a deeper understanding of the local cultural characteristics, it is one of the important landmarks that must be visited in the Baling area. Through the tunnels of time, you can see the towering stone pillars and overlook the newly built Baling Bridge. Who remembers the residue? What is the history of the grass?

The Civil Engineering Bureau of the Governor-General of Taiwan built a pillar to commemorate the completion of the bridge. It still existed in Showa 10 (1935). When the Beiheng Highway was built in the 1960s, the railway bridge was demolished and rebuilt into the Baling Bridge. Later, the traffic on the Beiheng Highway increased. The original Baling Bridge was only 4.6 meters wide and the road width was not easy. There was a traffic jam, so another Baling Bridge was built next to the Baling Bridge. It was completed and opened to traffic in 2005. The old Baling Bridge was changed to a landscape bridge for pedestrians only. The Baling No. 1 and No. 2 tunnels at both ends of the bridge are planned as Atayal cultural displays. hall.

It is very quiet, only the sound of gurgling water can be heard. Although it has rained a few times this winter and early spring, the water level of Dahan Creek is still low, and I hope there will be no shortage of water.
