The 101st wonder of the world

During my September 2007 visit to Taiwan, I took the opportunity to visit the world’s tallest building, the 101 in Taipei. Actually, I visited it twice.


Sim City Taipei by H C E.

The first time was in the evening, so the sun had set and I was able to admire the night time view of the city lights. In addition to the indoor observatory on the 89th floor, I also visited the outdoor observatory two floors above, which proved a windy and quite chilly experience. I also had a security guard confiscate my chewing gum on the way up there. Guess they’re concerned with the possibility of people spitting gum at pedestrians 400 meters below.

Window glare had made it a bit difficult to get good photos after dark, so I decided to go back a few days later during the afternoon to see the city during daylight hours and get some more photos. I also happened to take a video while walking through the observatory and that’s the video I’ve now uploaded to share with you.

Hope you enjoy this quick virtual tour of the Taipei 101, currently the world’s tallest building.
