By Chang Tsung-chiu / Staff reporterA new skywalk opened on Changhua County’s Baguashan (八卦山) yesterday, with thousands of visitors lining up to inaugurate the longest skywalk in central Taiwan. The county government constructed the skywalk to draw attention to the landscape of Baguashan, which is often described as the county’s top destination. However, a visitor surnamed Tsai (蔡) from Taichung’s Wuchi District (梧棲) said the bridge’s management should have put more personnel in charge of visitor safety. A visitor surnamed Chen (陳), who has visited a skybridge in Chiayi County’s Jhuci Township (竹崎), said the Baguashan skywalk was better, but the bridge was shaky in steep sections — possibly because there were too many visitors. Locals said the bridge has revived tourism on Baguashan, which had more visitors yesterday than it had on any day during the Lunar New Year holiday period.
