Here's your next Instagram-worthy shoot when things get better and travel resumes.

The Shuanglong rainbow suspension bridge is the highest and longest suspension bridge in Taiwan.

It recently reopened on June 20 after a brief closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Located in Nantou County, the colourful bridge is near the Shuanglong waterfall, a breathtaking waterfall split into two-layered streams.

30-storey high suspension bridge

According to the Meet Nantou website, the bridge is 342 metres long and 110 metres above the riverbed.

The bridge also has 420 steps in total, with a new colour painted every 50 steps to create a rainbow-like image from afar.

Though business trips to Taiwan are now possible, we'll still have to wait a bit more before we can book a holiday to the rainbow bridge.

Guess the Mario Kart version will have to do for now.
