Moon Bridge at Huntington Library, Chinese garden bridge in San Marino, US
The Moon Bridge at Huntington Library features a high arch design with a curved path that spans across a water feature in the Chinese Garden.
The bridge was constructed in the early 2000s as part of the Huntington Library complex, established by railroad magnate Henry E. Huntington in the 20th century.
Traditional Chinese architectural principles influenced the bridge design, incorporating elements that represent balance and natural harmony within garden landscapes.
The bridge connects two sections of the Chinese Garden and requires a general admission ticket to the Huntington Library for access.
The structure creates a perfect circle when combined with its reflection in the water, demonstrating principles of Chinese garden architecture.
