Sanxiantai Dragon Bridge in Taitung, Taiwan

This unique footbridge on the east coast of Taiwan connects visitors to the ‘Island of the Three Immortals,’ a small uninhabited island known for dramatic rock formations and ocean views. According to legend, the rocks were left behind by immortal saints who took a reprieve here centuries ago. The bridge itself was built in 1987 and was designed to resemble the mythical dragons of Chinese folklore.
