There were two buildings in this park – the
new Taipei Public Library and the older former Public Bath House. The older building can be reached by crossing
a bridge across a stream, the two storey house is built in a Euro-Japanese
style with red brick arches on the ground floor supporting a upper storey in
timber siding.
The flowing stream nearby masks the sounds of traffic while the evening sun and maple trees conspired to paint a picturesque scene – for me only it seemed. Until I noticed a young couple on the first floor balcony. They have stolen away for a moment to enjoy the scene together, unaware that they too were part of this touching vignette.
