The two bridges were built in the 12th year of the Showa era (1937) and are collectively called "Eternal Bridges". In the past, before the Alishan Highway was opened, the only way to enter Alishan was to go through this bridge. At that time, the Japanese built the "Ten Chang Di Jiu Bridge" to celebrate the birthdays of the Emperor Showa (Emperor Hirohito) and the empresses (Empress Ryoko and Empress Kashun), because the birthday of the emperor in Japan was called "Tianchang Festival", and the birthday of the empress was called "Earth". Therefore, the two bridges were named "Tianchang Bridge" and "Dijiu Bridge" respectively, and they were collectively called "Eternal and Everlasting" bridges, to wish the emperor and his concubine a happy marriage, "Eternal and Long".

Chiayi｜Tian Chang Di Jiu Bridge
Address: No. 173-2, Alishan Highway, Fanlu Township, Chiayi County
Opening Hours: 24 hours
Tian Chang Di Jiu Bridge is located in Chiayi; to the north of Chukou Bridge is the 'Di Jiu' Suspension Bridge. After crossing the Di Jiu Bridge, you can reach the 'Tian Chang' Suspension Bridge by climbing the stairs.
The two bridges span the upper reaches of the Bazhang River Valley, standing out beautifully against the backdrop of lush green mountains and clear waters. The Tian Chang and Di Jiu suspension bridges were built during the Japanese colonial period in Showa 12 (1937) and were named to commemorate the Tencho Festival (the Japanese Emperor's birthday) and the Chikyu Festival (the Empress's birthday).
Although many tourists have visited in the past, few know the historical anecdotes. However, the legend of lovers who become a couple under the blessing of 'Tian Chang Di Jiu' has become a popular tale.
