How it's used
This phrase is a playful, romantic metaphor that mimics the structure of 曬太陽, which means to sunbathe. It is specifically used to describe couples spending time together outdoors at night, implying a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. It carries a slightly old-fashioned or poetic charm compared to simply saying 拍拖.
Examples
The two of them went out to moonbathe all night, so sweet.
