The Jishui River Aqueduct was completed in 1930 and is a water conveyance structure of the Chianan Canal that crosses the Jishui River. The bridge is made of reinforced concrete and is one of only two remaining reinforced concrete aqueduct bridges in Taiwan, making it a rare example of modern bridge engineering.
The aqueduct has a maximum designed flow rate of 40 CMS. The lower section is a water channel, while the upper section forms part of the national greenway, the "Canal Greenway," which allows cyclists to pass through.
On November 10, 2022, the aqueduct was designated a municipal historic site by the Tainan City Government.
