▲ The Tianchang and Dijiu suspension bridges were built during the Japanese occupation period in 1937. They were named to commemorate the Tenchō Festival (the Japanese Emperor's birthday) and the Chikyū Festival (the Empress Dowager's birthday). Although many tourists visit these bridges, few are aware of their historical significance. Instead, they are often associated with the romantic legend of "eternal love," where lovers are said to be united forever.
