1629年西班牙人侵略淡水，在此建「聖多明哥城」為基地；1642年，荷蘭人驅逐西人，在舊址重建該城，當時稱荷蘭人為「紅毛」，因此「紅毛城」之名沿用至今。1867年為英國所租借，並在東側建「英國領事館」做為官邸；二次大戰爆發，日軍向英、美宣戰，臺灣當時為日本統治，英國領事館因而封閉。戰後英國人重返紅毛城，直至中英斷交。爾後紅毛城還曾經委託澳洲、美國代管，最終在1980年收歸中華民國所有。 近四百年的臺灣與世界交流史，在紅毛城的見證下，如舞台劇幕般一場場上演著。

海關碼頭位於紅毛城前方的河口港，曾為臺灣三大商港之一，黃金時代約在1865年至1905年之間。到了日治時代，因河道日漸淤淺，逐漸被基隆港取代。一百五十公尺的淺水碼頭、洋樓與兩座歷史悠久的港務倉庫是淡水港埠時代的見證物。

藝術家:磊勒丹‧巴瓦瓦隆 /排灣族 Artist: Reretan Pavavaljung /Paiwan 2019 自工業革命出現之後，蔓延全球的都市化過程，整整齊齊的重新規劃了我們的生活，極為細瑣繁複的分類模式，讓人類的時間、語言、世界觀變得越來越「精確」。 磊勒丹回想起小時候接受國家教育前的思考模式，總喜歡用天馬行空的幻想覆蓋每件事物，似乎這樣就可以改變些什麼，但隨著年齡增長，現實越來越清晰，幻想也漸漸褪色。 磊勒丹希望用孩童般純真的視野，尋找記憶中那有如萬花筒、被現代人歸屬於異域的顏色(或說想法)。模糊掉大自然、文明、種族...等等彼此間的交界，探索人類最原始的本能。 Since the emergence of the Industrial Revolution, the urbanization process that has spread across the world has neatly re-arranged our lives, making the worldview more and more "accurate". Before receiving national education, Reretan has always liked to cover everything with wild fantasies. However, as he grew older, his fantasies were gradually replaced by reality . In his artwork, Reretan wishes to find that forgotten kaleidoscope, that has been categorized as foreign, through the eyes of a child so pure it blurs the boundaries between nature, civilization, races, etc., and explore the most primitive instincts of human beings.

彩虹橋最大的特色在於外觀有著排灣族、魯凱族的傳統配飾，加上這座橋是以布農族語「Hanivalval」命名，「Hanivalval」是彩虹之意，象徵聯繫感情之道。 The special feature of the Rainbow Bridge is that the exterior has traditional accessories of the Paiwan and Rukai people. In addition, the bridge is named after the Bunun word for rainbow, "Hanivalval", which symbolizes connection and relationship.
