Dapan

Attractions along Dajia Creek Historic Trail

Dapan is located in Heping District, Taichung City, about 1,450 meters above sea level. After the completion of the Dajia River Historic Trail in the middle of the Japanese occupation, the Dapan Police Post was set up there. While the then Governor-General in Taiwan, Hasegawa Kiyoshi, patrolled the indigenous territories and dropped by to inspect the Dajia power development project in 1941, he once looked to the planned site of the Dajian Electric Power Fortification from Dapan. During the Japanese occupation, the Dapan suspension bridge was erected.  It was the longest suspension bridge on the Dajia River Historic Trail that connected Dapan and Dajian. In the post-war period, the suspension bridge was damaged and converted into a composite bridge. Since then it has undergone many reconstructions. In 2010, the current Dapan Bridge was rebuilt and opened to traffic. The bridge now leads to Deji and Jiayang.
