Taiping Bat Cave, Hundred Bats Suspension Bridge, and Hiking Trail (Closed). It is said that Bat Cave was an artificial irrigation channel dug by the Lin family of Taiping during the Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1862 AD) to irrigate farmland, diverting water from the Toubiankeng Stream. It is said that Bat Cave was an artificial irrigation channel dug by the Lin family of Taiping during the Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1862 AD) to irrigate farmland, diverting water from the Toubiankeng Stream to irrigate farmland in Tugongkan. However, after the flood of '98 (1998), a small rock mound below Bat Cave was washed away by the floodwaters, which then cut straight through, increasing the drop and drastically lowering the water level due to the scouring of the riverbed by the flood. As a result, the intake lost its function because it could no longer draw water. Address: 臺中市太平區東汴里中埔五橋 Hours: 00:00–23:59 Taichung
