Yutengping Broken Bridge, Sanyi Township, Miaoli County, Taiwán
Lóngténg Broken Bridge is a historic roadside attraction in the hills of Sānyì in Miaoli, Taiwan. More formally known as Yúténgpíng Broken Bridge, it was originally constructed in 1907 during the Japanese colonial era, connecting Zhúnán and Taichung along what is now known as the Old Mountain Line.
The bridge collapsed during the devastating 1935 Hsinchu-Taichung Earthquake but the ruins were never cleared away. Further damage was done in the 921 Earthquake in 1999. Several years later it was designated a historic site by the Miaoli County government and subsequently developed for tourism along with the former Shèngxìng Station.
