From the world's 2nd tallest building to the heritage sites
Taipei 101, 1,671 ft tall!


We paid NTD400 each (roughly Php560 each) to access the view decks.

The 89th floor indoor observation deck.

We rode the world's fastest elevator to get here -- took us only 37seconds from the 5th floor (where you buy your tickets) to the 89th floor!
The 91st floor outdoor observatory.
Museum at the 88th floor.

The mall housed by Taipei 101

The Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall
Erected in memory of the former President of the Republic of China

89 steps to represent Chiang's age at the time of his death

We were lucky to have chanced upon the changing of guards.
I'm not sure how often this is done in a day.

Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Walk Way
Like HK, SG, and our very own Makati (SM-Glorietta-Greenbelt-office bldgs) the malls are connected by walk ways, so convenient!
