The tower is reminiscent of a pagoda or a stalk of bamboo and designed to withstand typhoons and earthquakes common in Taiwan. Floors one through five are a shopping center and both the indoor (89th floor) and outdoor (91st floor) observation decks offer a 360-degree panoramic view. « less

From afar, its design is awesomely grandeur. The view from the Observation 'deck' was spectacular. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily when I visited, otherwise, the view on a clear day could have been more enchanting.

I didn't pay to go to the observation deck. Was there just for a look-see. Lots of food choices at basement foodcourt and can do lots of people watching too. Info counter receptionists could be friendlier though...

Lovely piece of architecture. It gives a panoramic view of the entire city. Its a pity we were not allowed at the 91st floor because of high winds

Take a 10 mins stroll from Sun Yat Sen's Memorial Hall to Taipei 101 to save your legs. Browse around, enjoy the environment, take a trip to the top if you like, eat lunch at the food hall, lots to choose from. Take the Taipei 101 free shuttle back to Taipei City Hall Station but if you live at the... More

If it is your first time to Taiwan, here's a 'MUST SEE' attraction here located at Xinyi district in Taipei next to Taipei City Hall, Taipei 101. As your image, it was the tallest building before Dubai tower, no doubt of it, besides its height, it's also a symbol/highlight repensentative Taiwan!
