Gangkou Suspension Bridge,Walking on the sea! overlooking the sea~To Kenting is not to leave the trip to see the sea, whether it is Kenting Street beach, or Longpan grasslands on the reef, there are different feelings, and in the port of Manchuria suspension bridge to see the sea is a different experience ~ familiar suspension bridges are usually between the valleys, there are few such as here, the mouth of the suspension bridge ~

Special attention is paid to the harbor suspension bridge, which requires maintenance fees and has opening hours. The picture below shows the entrance to the suspension bridge, and the eaves on the right are the ticket collection booths.
- Opening hours: 7:30~18:00 daily
- Fee: $20
- Number of persons on the suspension bridge: 60

From the entrance to the direction of Longpan, the red and white colors of the suspension bridge stand out in the mountains ~ perhaps most tourists are concentrated on the beach near the Kenting Street, where the crowds are much sparser (holiday), there is a feeling of a bridge package ~

This suspension bridge is set up at the mouth of the sea, blown by the gale, the swing of the suspension bridge gives you a feeling of floating in the sea ~, about 200 meters in front of the harbor beach, where there is a surf zone, the beach out of the endless Pacific Ocean.

Sunrise is also a great choice, but you can’t watch it from the bridge…. The opening time of the suspension bridge is 7:30 a.m. and the sun has already been out for a while, so you can watch the sunrise near the bridge first, and then go up to watch the sunrise after the bridge opens in the morning, and the picture of the golden sunlight penetrating through the clouds is a great enjoyment!

Below the entrance of the suspension bridge, there is a small park (behind the toll booth), just next to the parking lot, where there is a canoeing trip. Since I mainly photograph birds every time I go to the harbor, I didn’t experience canoeing in particular, but just wanted to sit on the shore and watch the clouds and the water float, and then let go of my mind.



I come here in the fall, and I often meet bird photographers (there’s one under the tree in the photo below~). The weather is cool at the moment, and the sea breeze is very comfortable, but be careful of the northeasterly monsoon, it tends to rain here~!

After the suspension bridge, there is also a wetland park with well-maintained environment, most of the area is a comfortable wooden walkway, and it won’t take more than 30 minutes to walk around the park (slowly plus taking photos).


Walking down the wooden walkway to the shore, looking back at the harbor city, the sea port + suspension bridge + mountains + white clouds, very like this view.


The ground in some areas is puddled, and it has the atmosphere of walking in a rainforest. The guide board says that there will be an umbrella festival here, so I think it’s fine if you just walk on the wooden pallet, and pay more attention to everything.

Hermit crabs are also abundant here to the explosion, many Kenting beaches have countless hermit crabs, but the average here are relatively large, love of nature, please do not catch!


Other crab species are also abundant. Checking the description tag, this one should be a medium-sized Imitation Hand Crab (a type of land crab).

The ecological pool is the deepest part of the wetland park. I thought there would be a lot of water birds in the pool, but in the end, there were none…. At least the scenery is not bad.

If you are like me and like to visit Kenting in the fall, you might want to choose mid-October when the northeast monsoon is coming south. Tens of thousands of Gray-faced Buzzards will be crossing the Hengchun Peninsula, and the port of Manjhou is one of the areas where they will spend the night, which attracts a large number of bird-lovers to watch – you can easily watch a large number of spectacular eagle flocks flying on the land bridge opposite the suspension bridge!
