Geocache Description:


 

Longgang Footbridge

 

Longgang footbridge was built in 2008, and "Waves" is its main design concept; on the bridge you can enjoy the seashore view, and there's also a path leading to the beach nearby.

 

 龍崗天橋建於2008年,整體設計以水為意象,橋身以沖孔金屬板與木條結合,營造波浪的意象。在橋上可以從高處觀賞周圍的景色,橋邊也有路走到一旁的沙灘看海。

 


Si Kun-Shen (四鯤鯓)

 

As could be seen in the map above, there used to be seven big sand bars lying in the sea not far from the coastline; they looks like whales from a distance, and get the name of "鯤鯓", which means "whales" in Chinese. Currently, these sandbars have changed dramatically, and most of them are connected to the land.

It was once the fourth sandbar here, people have dwelled here since hundreds of years ago; also, the Longshan Temple nearby is the first temple that worship 清水祖師 in Taiwan, and there are quite some legends and story about him. 

 

從康熙臺灣輿圖中可以看到台江內海的七個鯤鯓,鯤鯓是鯨魚的意思,一鯤鯓約在安平古堡南邊,二鯤鯓約在現今億載金城,三鯤鯓約在漁光島,而四鯤鯓則在此處。這裡的龍山寺是開基清水祖師廟,當地也流傳著一些關於清水祖師的傳說。
