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. Many people buy snacks from the nearby Raohe Street Night Market, then make their way to the nearby Rainbow Riverside Park or Chengmei Riverside Park, where they can take a stroll, enjoy the view and eat great food.

Hantaviruses have been around for centuries and are thought to
Have you ever wondered how people navigate the world when they can’t see a map? For individuals with visual impairments, conventional maps are nearly impossible to use. This is where tactile maps come in — essential tools that allow people to “see” the world through touch. A tactile map is specially designed with raised lines, textures, and symbols to represent geographical features such as roads, rivers, and buildings. Users explore it with their fingertips. However, these maps are not exclusively for people with visual disabilities. They serve as valuable multisensory learning tools that enhance spatial understanding for everyone, making
