So Taipei 101 is a must-do (second tallest building in the world etc). Already fed up with the crowds at major attractions, we decided to book for the Chinese seafood restaurant on the 86th floor. We were whizzed up via two lifts - no queue - the first fast and furious which left our stomachs behind somewhere on the journey,... More

This is a must see. It is obligatory. At about $18 US, it is worth it to go up to the observation levels. It was too windy, cloudy, and rainy to go to the outside observation deck, but it was still worthwhile and the crowd was smaller and very short wait time. Great views of the city. Fastest passenger elevator... More

Something to do in Taipei. Nice upscale shopping mall with interesting architecture in great hall. Then take $500NT($20) ride to top of 101 Tower. I've been up there three times with different people and never have gotten outside on 91st floor, but people who go up the first time seem to like it. Make sure you check out the pendulum.... More

Wow, very tall and I'm scared of heights. The window washers were outside and I couldn't get near the window from the INSIDE without wobbly knees. Fun place, get a souvenir towel, I use it on my bar at home...great conversation piece.

It's not cheap to go up 101 but worth getting the birds eye view of the city. The entrance is located on 5th floor of the shopping arcade, so you have to approach the express lifts via several flights of escalators passing luxury goods stores en route. Do make the effort to walk up to the open air viewing platform... More

A mall with a very nice resto at the ground floor. Forgot the name but for sure you will love their dimsum.

Though it was raining and foggy, and the 91F was not open, our visit to Taipei 101 was definitely worth the TWD500 each we paid. There are 14 or 15 stations wherein you can use the free larger-than-a-mobile phone equipment they provide which has an audio explaining the different areas you can see way below. I thought we would just... More

Although we had to wait for hours and hours to go up the building, the view was gorgeous. I wish we had gone in the daytime though. Take the free shuttle from the station!

The outside architecture is very nice and it's always impressive to use one of the fastest (if the fastest) elevator of the world to go up to the top (actually only the 88th floor). Too bad the weather was not cooperating. But even with some cloud and fog, it's worth a view.
