For more than a decade, “Taipei’s beautician” Chen Chu-feng (陳主奉) has dedicated herself to making northern Taiwan’s largest rose garden a crowning jewel of the capital.
After the Taipei International Flora Expo ended in 2011, a 1.3 hectare plot in Xinsheng Park (新生公園) used to display bonsai was transformed into a diverse and vibrant rose garden.

The western front occupies a fixed and unchanging position in our memory of the First World War. It is synonymous with trenches and bloody, futile combat; a place of barbed wire and poison gas, of massed artillery batteries and machine-guns, mud and blood. It was where the armies of Germany and France, the United Kingdom and America (alongside a host of minor powers and colonial possessions) placed the bulk of their military strength and where they suffered the majority of their casualties. This arena of combat left a legacy of commemoration and remembrance that continues to influence our attitudes to the war to this day.
