Asia's Longest Swivel Bridge × Kaohsiung Harbor's Trendiest Landmark

Dagang Bridge sits beside the Pier-2 Art Center wharf in Yancheng District, Kaohsiung City. It is not only Taiwan's first horizontally rotating scenic bridge but also Asia's longest harbor-spanning swivel bridge. Known for its streamlined form and harbor views, it combines design aesthetics, smart engineering, and sightseeing leisure—making it Kaohsiung's most iconic waterfront landmark.

The bridge is 110 meters long and 5 to 11 meters wide, inspired by shell and dolphin motifs. The pure white structure and modern swivel mechanism offer a daily opening show at 3:00 PM and an additional show at 7:00 PM on weekends—dramatic and eye-catching, linking Pier-2 Art Center and Warehouse No. 2 (Cianjhen) as a highlight of harbor strolls.

Must-Experience Highlights | Dagang Bridge Is More Than Structure

Daily Scheduled Opening Show

• Weekdays: swivel bridge opening demonstration at 15:00

• Friday & Saturday: extra 19:00 night light show

Watch the deck rotate slowly and open the channel—it feels like a maritime ceremony. A favorite urban ritual for photographers and family travelers.
 

Viewing Platform × Waterfront Scenery

A viewing platform at the bridge center overlooks Kaohsiung Port, Kaohsiung Music Center, Warehouse No. 2, and harbor traffic. Dusk is ideal for sunset and reflection shots.

Night Lights × Dagang Bridge Market

After dark the bridge is lit, its curves dreamlike. On holidays, Dagang Bridge Market gathers local creative brands, farm-to-table food, and street performers—more than a crossing, it's the city's art stage.
