HOME AWAY FROM HOME
大湖，台北
This 38 year old bridge known as the Moon Bridge was just a random unappreciated bridge in a beautiful park in Neihu until a few years ago when some social media'ing happened to it and made it an international star.
Is it a must visit when you come to Taiwan? No. Is all the hype that it gets justified? No. Is it a pretty bridge that makes a nice photo? Yup.
Sometimes the internet has a mind of its own.

Dahu (大湖) in Mandarin Chinese means large lake. I'd seen some beautiful photos of the bridge in the evening or sunrise/sunset where it lights up and you can see the bridge's lights glow and form a moon as the lights themselves and their reflections light up...
I found it by accident while riding the bus and went back the next day. I went on an impromptu hike (without water, bug spray, or breakfast because I didn't think I'd make the foolish decision to hike), and it's a nice area. Very casual.
At the same time, I didn't ever see it at night, and I have to say it wasn't slap-in-the-face stunning by day.
