Spring, 2009 The lively National Park Quarterly continues. Visitors are normally impressed by the unique landscapes and valuable ecology in the parks. But with a closer look, one can also see inspiring stone inscriptions, spontaneous works of writers and gorgeous pictures by famous photographers. This issue will show you a different face of national parks from an aesthetic perspective. There are the conversation with the prestigious architect Pao-Teh Han, the chat with Director-General Shih-Wen Yeh, and the remembering of the everlasting art magnate Max Liu. Besides quiescent appreciation of literature, we’ll bring you to Sibao Elementary School in Taroko to roam with kids in fenceless classrooms, or to Cilanshan to see the cypress forest, followed by a look at Kenting and the wonders that touched Poet Kuang-chung Yu through Cing-hua Wang’s lens, and make a last stop at Jhaishan Tunnel in Kinmen National Park to reminisce wartime stories. In this spring issue of the 2009 National Park Quarterly, you’ll experience the essence of aesthetics, which exists everywhere in life.
