ONE of the things I like best about Beijing is its preponderance of beautiful parks.One that is less well known by western visitors is called Taoranting(陶然亭公园),which lies due west of the Temple of Heaven.Constructed in 1952 and opened in 1956,Taoranting was the earliest modern city park built after the establishment of the People's Republic.Some 60,000 visitors come here every day.
