Rocket to the top of one of the world’s tallest skyscrapers for incredible views of Taipei and beyond.

Taipei 101 was voted by Newsweek magazine as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World and by the Discovery Channel as one of the Seven Wonders of Engineering. The tower has held the Guinness World Record for having the world’s fastest passenger elevators.

At 1,667 feet (508 meters), Taipei 101 was the world’s tallest building for several years during the early 21st century. Designed in an architectural style known as Oriental revivalism, the building has a unique shape that some have lightheartedly referred to as a towering stack of Chinese restaurant take-out containers. As you study the facade made from glass, try to identify the incorporated elements of feng shui. The entire structure is based on the Chinese lucky number, eight. Look for the curled ruyi motifs that adorn the structure, symbolizing protection and fulfillment. Each night of the week, the tower’s light display shows one of the seven colors of the spectrum.

The tower’s 61 elevators are among the world’s fastest. This is one of the few places where you can ride a double-deck elevator. Head to the fifth floor information counter and gift shop. From here, it takes just under 40 seconds to rocket to the 89th-floor indoor observatory where you can look through high-powered binoculars over Taipei. If the weather permits, venture outside on the 91st floor where you can look at the city from the observation deck.

On the 88th floor, see the world’s largest wind damper, an incredible mechanism that stabilizes the building in high winds and typhoons. Immerse yourself in a multimedia experience that will take you through Taipei’s scenic attractions. After returning to earth, explore the hundreds of shops, restaurants and clubs in the mall adjoining the tower.

Taipei 101’s indoor observatory is open seven days a week, with the last ticketing and entry at mid-evening. The tower is easily accessible by public transport catch the bus or MRT train to Taipei City Hall Station.

Lines are quite lengthy, so be sure to purchase Taipei 101 Observatory Priority Pass online. SOOO worth it!! We just claimed our passes and were escorted right away to the elevator. There was a long long line, which would have taken more than an hour to wait, and with the priority pass you can go straight in.

Taipei 101 is so far the most iconic building in Taipei city. In the observation deck, visitors can learn about the theories behind the build structure and the internal damper to view. There's many shopping and dining options available, the most famous and significant one being 'ding tai fung', which is the world-leading soup dumpling maker, the restaurant has presence in cities around the world. Lots of things you may enjoy to entertain all ages of group, as Taipei 101 continues to offer enrichment to your trip.

Ding Tai Fung Dumpling Restaurant on the lower level of the adjacent building to Taipei 101 was marvelous. The Soup Dumplings there are amazing and my absolute favorite Chinese food.

Happy to have picked 4pm to visit because by 5pm, the sky became cloudy and as much as we'd like to see the sunset, it is already hiding behind the sea of clouds.
