“The Moon Guards the Happy City” is located at the intersection of Section 5, Xinyi Road, and Songzhi Road (diagonally opposite Taipei 101)and is Jimmy Liao’s first installation art piece set up in Taipei. Using the commonly seen city bus as its element, it not only allows visitors to take photos outside but also lets the public board the bus to explore and interact inside.
