Taipei 101-World Trade Center Station

Must visit place. Fastest elevator in the world. Would reach 101 floor in 30 seconds

One of World Tallest Building. Taipei 101 is 1,667ft Tall, opened in 2004 and became the tallest building in the world until 2010. Signature shops inside, cafes, restaurant and observatory view deck.

This is the reason why tourist visiting this tower love the views from the elephant mountain. It’s difficult to see the full beauty from below. Anyways, there’s a unique sign outside the building that spells love in red. You could also get a tour of the building including the the top most floors but with a charge. Enjoy your visit to this beautiful place

Great place with gorgeous views of the cityscape and the surrounding mountains. Other than the observatory, there are many other choices to view from above in the taipei 101 office building. The cheapest would be starbucks, where you can have a meal and view from the 35th floor. However, there are many things to note when coming here for Starbucks. You would need to reserve a spot through phone, and queue at the first floor before the staff brings you up to the cafe, where you can choose your seats. It is recommended that you make a reservation at least a few weeks before the actual visit, as the order in which you go into the cafe to choose the best seats would be by the order in which the customers booked their seats. If you are living overseas, overseas calls are expensive for foreigners and you could choose to ask a friend in Taiwan to help you book, or in a month long visit book for the last few days of your trip. If not, the other earlier bookers would occupy all the window seats, and if you are the late bookers and are called into the cafe last you cannot have a seat with good views, and when you try to peek over a luckier guest's shoulder to see the view they would probably give you a glare or try to block you, which is what is experienced when I came here. This place is worth the visit, but when tying to book a spot in Starbucks at taipei 101 these are the simple but very important tips you should take note of. P.s. You should be very clear of what you exactly want to eat before even stepping foot into the cafe, as the stocks are very limited. Upon entering the cafe, grab your belongings and throw them on a seat with good views, then rush(run real fast) to the counter to immediately order, lest they run out of food.

You spend half the day at least in this area. The metro connects here and there are so many shops and restaurants. The mall has luxury shops and a ton of stuff for tourists and locals to do. The top of the tower is interesting and the views are great but you should go there on a clear so or you won't see much. Spend some time learning about the giant mass damper ball that keeps the building stable. It is amazing. There are restaurants you can reserve with set menus as well. If you have the budget it is great for going with friends who love to chat for hours.

The most interesting thing to see in Taipei city, full of nice shops restaurant, no just in the tower but also around the area. Make sure you get a good day to go out to observatory, if the weather is not good they’ll close it.

Incredible view from the top. Fact: This building is three times higher then the highest building in Switzerland

One of the tallest skyscrapers in the world. It is a must-go in Taiwan. It has the fastest elevator which takes you from the 5th to the 89th floor in only 37 seconds. There are restaurants, a shopping mall, and an exhibition center. Taipei 101 has an indoor and outdoor observation deck on the 81, 91 and 101 floor, all of which offer 360º views of Taipei city. The observatory has a gift shop, a restaurant, and a coffee bar. Every new year the skyscraper offers a firework spectacle to receive the upcoming year. One of my favorite things about this place is its particular design is inspired in a traditional Chinese- pagoda.
