Sanxiantai Dragon Bridge in Taitung, Taiwan

             台湾台東の三仙台ドラゴンブリッジ

Sanxiantai Dragon Bridge is a long footbridge connecting the main island of Taiwan with Sanxiantai Island. Sanxiantai means “Platform of the three immortals.” Sanxiantai Island has three extremely large rocks on the island. It is these rocks that have spawned the many legends about three Chinese saints. Lu Dong Bin, the most widely known among the group of deities known as the Eight Immortals is said to have lived during the Tang Dynasty (AD750). Li TieGuai is said to have lived during the Western Zhou period and is best known for his meditation practices. He Xian Gu was said to have lived during the 7th century AD. According to the Taoist legends she encountered the Immortal Lu Dong Bin who gave her a peach and told her, “You shall become an immortal if you eat it”.

三仙台ドラゴンブリッジは、台湾本島と三仙台島を結ぶ長い歩道橋です。 Sanxiantaiは「3つの不滅のプラットフォーム」を意味します。Sanxiantai島には島に3つの非常に大きな岩があります。三人の中国人聖人についての多くの伝説を生み出したのはこれらの岩石です。 8人の不滅として知られている神々のグループの中で最も広く知られている陸洞箱は、唐時代(AD750)の間に住んでいたと言われています。李TieGuaiは、周周西部時代に住んでいたと言われており、彼の瞑想の実践で最もよく知られています。彼は西安区は7世紀に住んでいたと言われていました。道教の伝説によれば、彼女は彼女に桃を与えた不死のLu Dong Binに出会い、「あなたがそれを食べるならあなたは不滅になるであろう」と言った。

三仙台ドラゴンブリッジは、台湾の三仙台島への美しい散歩道です。

Sanxiantai Island has a very unique shape. The area is best known for its long footbridge that connects the eastern coast of the main Island of Taiwan with the outer Island of Sanxiantai. The Sanxiantai Dragon Bridge was completed in 1987. Before this time the Island of Sanxiantai could only be reached during low tide. Sanxiantai Dragon Bridge has 8 segments that are designed in the shape of waves and resembles a prostrate sea dragon. Sanxiantai Dragon Bridge has become a famous landmark on Taiwan’s East Coast.

三仙台島は非常にユニークな形をしています。この地域は台湾本島の東海岸と外灘の三仙台を結ぶ長い歩道橋で最もよく知られています。三仙台ドラゴンブリッジは1987年に完成しました。この時期以前は、三仙台島は干潮時にしか到達できませんでした。 Sanxiantai Dragon Bridgeには、波の形をした8つのセグメントがあり、前立腺の海の龍に似ています。三仙台龍橋は台湾の東海岸で有名なランドマークとなっています。

While at the Scenic Area you might enjoy spending a few minutes at the pebble beach, before walking across this eight-arch bridge. Sanxiantai Dragon Bridge is a healthy walk, so plan on enjoying the beach, upon your arrival, resting up for the rest of your island adventure.

After taking your short rest on the beach of Sanxiantai Island, you can then trek along the many trails of the island. The main trail takes about 2 hours to walk at a moderate walking speed, taking time to sightsee along the way. If you are planning on making this trek, remember to wear proper shoes, not beach flip flops! The many rocks are fascinating and there is a beautiful lighthouse on the other side of the island. Enjoy the many protected areas of rock and native palms that live and flourish on Sanxiantai. And, remember to save a little energy for the walk back across the bridge to the Scenic Area.

風光明媚なエリアにいる間、あなたはこの8アーチ橋を渡って歩く前に、小石のビーチで数分を過ごすのを楽しむかもしれません。 Sanxiantai Dragon Bridgeは健康的な散歩ですので、ご到着時にビーチを楽しんだり、島の冒険の残り時間を休んでください。 Sanxiantai島のビーチで少し休んだ後は、島の多くの遊歩道を散策できます。メイントレイルは中程度の歩行速度で歩くのに約2時間かかり、途中で観光客に時間がかかります。このトレッキングを計画している場合は、ビーチサンダルではなく、適切な靴を履いてください。たくさんの岩が魅力的で、島の反対側には美しい灯台があります。 Sanxiantaiで暮らし、繁栄する、保護された岩石やヤシの木の保護地域をお楽しみください。そして、橋を渡って風光明媚なエリアに戻る散歩のために少しエネルギーを節約することを忘れないでください。

Visiting the unique architecture of this bridge and the area in which it stands provides a culture opportunity. Taiwan does have a strong Chinese culture but with a unique aboriginal culture as well. The combination of ideas and religion are though out this area and the dragon bridge gives us an example of this cultural fusion taking place in Taiwan. Once you get done make sure to head back to the mainland for some wonderful seafood dishes that you can only get in this area.

この橋のユニークな建築物やそれが建っている地域を訪れることは文化の機会を提供します。台湾は強い中国文化を持っていますが、独自の先住民文化も持っています。アイデアと宗教の組み合わせはこの分野ではありませんが、ドラゴンブリッジは台湾で行われているこの文化的融合の例です。あなたが終わったら、あなただけがこの地域で得ることができるいくつかの素晴らしいシーフード料理のために本土に戻っていることを確認してください。

Sanxiantai is a beautiful location along the Huadong coastline and a great place to relax and to enjoy nature.” (1. 台東觀光旅遊網)

dragon bridge island folklore
Sanxiantai Dragon Bridge in Taitung Taiwan

“Sansiantai is, as you might imagine, is saturated in folklore. The three enormous rocks making up the island’s most conspicuous feature long ago gave rise to a native myth that three of China’s Eight Immortals once chose the island for a place to rest.  Even the name of the island translates to the Terrace of the Three Immortals. Lu, Tung-pin, Iron Crutch Li, and He, Xian-gu were the names of these great sages.  After they had taken their rest they left three footprints.  These are the three massive rocks dominate the small uninhabited island. The island was once connected by a neck of land to the rest of Taiwan but over the millennia this wore away” (2 Kuriositas)

「あなたが想像するように、Sansiantaiは民間伝承で飽和しています。ずっと前に島の最も顕著な特徴を構成する3つの巨大な岩は中国の8つのImmortalsのうちの3つが休む場所のために一度島を選んだというネイティブの神話を引き起こしました。島の名前は三不滅隊のテラスと言い換えられます、呂、桐pin、鉄の松葉李、そして彼、西安区はこれらの偉大な賢人の名前で、彼らが休んだ後、彼らは3つの足跡を残しました。この島はかつて台湾の他の地域と首を結ぶところでつながっていましたが、これは千年の間かけ離れたものでした」(2 Kuriositas)

Take a step back in time! Discover your roots! Spend the day with your ancestors! Discover Bashian Cave. It is amazing! It is living history!

Originally, the caves were below sea level. This allowed the ocean waves to batter and shape them into what we see today. Imagine their life! Fishing was just outside the door!

Basian Cave is actually written “Basiandong”. Basiandong means Cave of the Eight Immortals.
