and served originally as an anti-aircraftposition.

The New York Times as one of Taiwansmust-see destinations.

of the past generations. In some way itis a reection of the Taipei mind that the

industrial city is not able to reect. Forthe stories to surface the industrial city

must be turned over: the city must be acompost. Marco Casagrande
