Time flies and 2019 is coming!!
Xiangshan, where will be crowded around New Year's Eve because of splendid Taipei 101 fireworks, is the best spot to see spectacular Taipei night view. Below is the more detailed introduction of Taipei 101. Special thanks to our partner Like It Formosa, the best walking tour program in Taipei.
　
👉The landmark supertall skyscraper of Taiwan, Taipei 101 was the world's tallest in 2004 (509.2 m) and remained such until the completion of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai in 2010. In 2011, the building was awarded the LEED platinum certification and became the tallest and largest green building in the world.
　
Construction of Taipei 101 started in 1999 and finished in 2004. The tower has since then served as an icon of modern Taiwan. Taipei 101 is home to hundreds of stores, restaurants, and clubs with its adjoined multi-level shopping mall. Since its opening on Dec 31, 2004, New Year's Eve fireworks launched from Taipei 101 hit a headlines in international broadcasts, a favorite sight of many travel brochure and international media.
　
The main tower of Taipei 101 features a series of eight segments of eight floors each. In Chinese-speaking cultures the number Eight is associated with abundance, prosperity and good fortune. In addition, the repeated segments recall the rhythms of an Asian pagoda (a tower linking earth and sky, also evoked in the Petronas Towers), a stalk of bamboo (an icon of learning and growth), and a stack of ancient Chinese ingots or money boxes (a symbol of abundance). Popular humor sometimes likens the building's shape to a stack of take-out boxes as used in Western-style Chinese food.
