The Frog Rock Sky Bridge is suspended against the cliff face of the Naro River gorge. The glass walkway stretches about 150 meters, with a deep gorge and rushing stream directly below — visually striking. A nearby boulder resembling a toad inspired the trail's name. This is a recently developed attraction in Jianshi Township and has been listed as an important site by the Tourism Administration, MOTC.
What to see at Jianshi Frog Rock Sky Bridge
The walkway is built along the cliff face above the Naro River in Jianshi Township using a cantilevered glass platform. Visitors can stand on the transparent glass floor and look straight down into the gorge, experiencing a visceral sense of height. The structure is secured to the rock face with steel anchors and has safety railings, but visitors with a fear of heights are advised to consider carefully before attempting it.
Jianshi Township is an important Atayal homeland. The Naro settlement, Xiuluan, and other communities preserve traditional culture and ceremonies. Before or after visiting the walkway, consider a community visit to learn about Atayal weaving arts and daily life — though when entering settlements you must follow local etiquette and avoid photographing community members or ceremonial sites without permission. Guesthouses and restaurants near the walkway serve local Indigenous cuisine.

Practical information
Getting there and timing
- By car from Zhudong toward Jianshi Township along Provincial Highway 120. The mountain road is winding with some single-lane sections — take care when passing oncoming vehicles. Allow 40–50 minutes.
- Opening hours, ticket prices, and weather-related closure policies are subject to the management authority's latest announcements. The walkway may close temporarily after heavy rain or typhoons; check before you go.
Nearby connections
- You can extend further into the mountains of Jianshi Township to Smangus or Xiuluan settlements, though the journey is longer and requires extra planning — confirm road conditions and entry requirements in advance.
