Taipei then and now

Poagao has posted a fascinating set of pictures on flickr of the old Xingfu Amusement Park in Bitan (碧潭幸福樂園). He has combined recent photos of the now abandoned park with scans from some old brochures for the park. The result is a fascinating look at the changes that have taken place there over the last few decades. It is hard to imagine that this now deserted and neglected place was once a thriving centre of activity.
