Rainbow Riverside Park

This guide to Rainbow Riverside Park in Taipei's Neihu district starts with the crowds who pack Xinyi District every New Year's Eve, unaware that the best view of the Taipei one-oh-one fireworks sits here on a quiet bank of the Keelung River. You'll hear how the S-shaped Rainbow Bridge overhead was built around two thousand seven purely for walkers and cyclists, banning cars entirely, and how it later earned a reputation among travel writers as a romantic spot at night. Look downstream for the MacArthur Bridges lit up on a clear evening.
