Taiwan - New Taipei Garden Area, Through the Trees

Not many people know this, but there is Taipei and a separate municipality called New Taipei City to its east.  My sister-in-law's family owns an apartment in New Taipei right next to the Ming Chi University of Technology.  This is a great location while in the Taipei area due to its proximity to good public transportation and some neat things to see nearby.  For example, it is a very short distance to a large Temple for pictures, and from there a steep hike up a hill where Taipei stands visible in the distance (on a relatively smog-free day).  Pictures of what can be seen on that hike have been posted from a previous trip.

Something that has recently been developed adjacent to this path is a beautifully manicured garden area that we hadn't seen before.  When this view opened up to us no more than a hundred feet from the main path we were amazed.  Naturally the Bigger Cahoona and I sprung into action, capturing the layout of this garden through the surrounding trees.  Later research revealed that the exact location is 25.044600 N, 121.423189E.
