Taipei 101, also known as the Taipei Financial Center, is a 509-m, 101-story landmark skyscraper located in Xinyi District of Taipei. Upon completion in 2004, the mega building had been the tallest building in the world until Dubai's 828m-tall Burj Khalifa overtook it in January, 2010. There are two high-speed elevators located in the tower, which move at a top speed of 16.83m/s (55.22 ft/s), shooting visitors up from the 5th floor to the 89th floor observation deck in only 37 seconds. After a busy day trip in Taipei, flying high into the sky and having a bird's eye view of the entire neon light covered city will certainly make for the perfect ending to your trip.
Admission: NT$400 (86 yuan)
Best time to visit: all year round
