Yao, who is seeking the DPP’s nomination in next year’s Taipei mayoral election, said the plan will serve as the main thrust for his mayoral bid.
A contest organized by Yao was announced that day during a press conference held at the National Taiwan University Alumni Club hall, where members of the public are invited to come up with ideas of what such a park should look like.
The person judged to have submitted the best design plan will be eligible for a cash prize of NT$100,000 (US$3,285). [FULL STORY]
