Bridges

Like all major cities, Taipei is located near a waterway. In Taipei's case it is near the confluence of the Danshui and Keelung rivers and the Danshui river empties into the Pacific ocean. (The only case, I can think of, of a city not located on a waterway is Las Vegas.)

 Maps from 200 years ago, show Taipei as just a ferryman's house. Compared to the rest of Taiwan, Taipei has cold winters and hot summers, located in the bottom of a basin it doesn't get the breeze from the ocean like other Taiwanese cities. But more than 100 years ago, electricity made Taipei more inhabitable. Heating in the winter first and after WWII air conditioning in the summer. Without these, Taiwan's capital would still be the older capital, Tainan.

Located on the rivers, Taipei has its share of bridges and ships.

And it has shallow bottom boats like this, maybe Mark Twain is the pilot.

In in Taiwan they use these gigantic "Jumping Jacks"  made of cement to prevent erosion of the river banks.

But like all big cities, when the space is crowded, they build into the sky. Crisscrossing Taipei is a system of elevated highways, although some are not "elevated" that high. I think some SUVs wouldn't get under this bridge.

But the most famous bridge in Taipei is probably the moon bridge in the Dahu park.
