The Rainbow Bridge is located in Taipei’s Songshan District. Similar to the Crescent Bridge, the bridge is for pedestrians and bikers only. With its unique S-shape, when viewed at night from beneath after the lights are lit, the bridge resembles a flying dragon suspended in mid-air, for all to see in its full magnificence.
