moon bridge

Curved garden crossing

A moon bridge is an arched pedestrian bridge, typically found in East Asian gardens, curved steeply enough that its reflection in still water forms a complete circle—hence the lunar reference.

These bridges are often decorative rather than purely functional, built of stone or wood: The moon bridge arched over the koi pond.
