The tallest tower in Taipei. Great place to shop. You name it, you get it. Food choices are abundant. The observatory deck is a must visit with the best view of the city. And the elevator flies!!!

Amazing view! Going up is so fast, but there's a long que for coming down. Try Taiwan beer with Mango ice cream in it????

Head towards the visitor pass machines and dial the Starbucks on the 35th floor. You'll be issued a visitor pass which will take you through the turnstiles to the elevators. Enjoy the free view!

No longer the tallest building in the world, but still orders of magnitude the largest in the city. The coolest part is the 18 foot diameter counterweight on the 97th floor!
