Taipei 101 held the record for world’s tallest building from 2004 to 2009. Its architecture sort of resembles a giant bamboo stalk, and since it’s pretty tall, it has one of the world’s fastest elevators traveling at 1000 m/min.
The view from so high was cloudy, but you get the idea! It’s really tall!
It also has the largest public-viewable wind damper. A video demonstration showed that it moves a lot during past typhoons.
Back on the ground nearby, we made a quick visit to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, dedicated to Taiwan’s political founder.
He’s the guy on all the money!
Right about then, the tower had begun to glow, so we made our way up Elephant Mountain for a better view.
Great views from up here!
A version of the Empire State building in NY. Are you guys standing on glass floors in that building? Yes it does look very tall how many floors? Nice view from the building. Interesting how the building withstands typhoons. Beautiful view from the Elephant Mountain. Enjoy Love Ya both God bless
It’s 101 floors, about 1500 feet tall! Definitely looks weird as the surrounding buildings are fairly small :).
Today being Thanksgiving here at home want to wish you guys a Happy Thanksgiving and hope you enjoy your day even if you didn’t have the gobble gobble. Love ya God bless
It is good to see you both always smiling. After almost three months it is something in itself. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
