Taipei 101

Wherever you are in Taipei there is one building that you can always see; Taipei 101. It has or at least had two world records. For many years it was the tallest building in the world and had the fastest elevator. I really recommend a trip to the observation platform, but only on a clear day. Luckily the air quality in Taiwan has improved dramatically in the last few years, so your chances of getting some good pics from the tower are much improved. For visitor information go to the Taipei 101 website. Happy snapping!

At last something of 101 itself. The big ball that dampens the building in typhoons and earthquakes.
