I visited Jembatan Limpapeh when I was in Bukittinggi, and I was impressed by its unique design and history.

The bridge is 90 meters long and 3.8 meters wide, and it crosses over a busy street and a market.
The bridge was built in 1995 from steel materials, and it has a distinctive Sumatran style. It is one of the icons of Bukittinggi, along with Jam Gadang, the clock tower.

The bridge is a great place to take photos, especially at night when it is illuminated by colorful lights. It is also a convenient way to access the fort and the park, which are both worth visiting. The fort has a museum and a cannon, and the park has various animals and plants. You can also try some local delicacies at the stalls under the bridge.
