	TiT Scenery: The Pride of Taipei
		This brand new building, which only opened a year and a half ago, is the singular landmark of Taipei and has become the hottest sightseeing attraction for foreign visitors to the city--a full third of which are Japanese.
		It is in fact the springtime of Taipei's existence, as its past, displayed on framed copies of old fl and white lithographs which adorn the inner wall of the observatory, reveals a barren, dusty little town languishing amid the confluence of several strategic rivers on a flat, rising plain.
		To the south and directly below the observatory lies Taipei New Park, which is not only not new but is, surprisingly, not really famous for its beautiful trees or old buildings or the intriguing Taiwan Provincial Museum now under renovation, but as a place where young lovers rendezvous on the sly.
