Taipei 101

4.7/5
6.9k reviews
Located in a prime location in Taipei, Taipei 101 was primarily planned by Taipei Financial Center Corporation, a consortium of fourteen companies, in collaboration with a professional team. Designed by renowned architect C.Y. Lee, the project transcends the concept of a single volume, using the auspicious number "eight" (a homophone for "prosperity") as a design unit. Each eight-story building forms a structural unit, interconnected and stacked to form the overall structure. This creates a rhythmic and dynamic aesthetic, pioneering a new style for international skyscrapers. Ultra-high-speed elevators: Taipei 101 Observatory is equipped with two ultra-high-speed elevators, with an ascent speed of up to 1010 meters per minute. It only takes 37 seconds to go from the 5th floor to the 89th floor observation deck. These two elevators are also equipped with constant pressure devices in the car, dampers, and high-temperature resistant ceramic braking systems, making them intelligent high-speed elevators that integrate high technology. The 89th-floor indoor observation deck, illuminated by dazzling lights at night, creates a dreamlike and immersive experience through its glass-enclosed landscape. Not only does it offer panoramic views of the city skyline, but it also features unique, private photo windows, ensuring every moment becomes a classic shot! Wind Damping Sphere: The full official name of the Taipei 101 wind damping sphere is the Tuned Mass Damper (TMD). It is a passive damping system custom-designed to meet the needs of this building, located centrally on floors 87-92. Its main purpose is to reduce the building's swaying during strong winds, minimizing discomfort for those working in the building. Unlike traditional concealed damping systems, the Taipei 101 wind damping sphere's design balances functionality and aesthetics, allowing a clear view of the entire damping system's operation from the observation deck. The multi-section exterior design naturally mitigates the wind field effect on the ground caused by airflow from high-rise buildings, and ensures pedestrian safety and comfort through the separation of green planting areas in the architectural design. Infinite Sky: Utilizing a unique mirroring principle, the interplay of reflections and rotations between the atrium and floor creates a visual experience of boundless space and limitless expanse, making visitors feel as if they are in a kaleidoscope world. Helpful Reminder: Female visitors wearing short skirts should be aware of the reflection issues on the mirrored floor. Rainbow Neon Zone: The night view from above, combined with neon lights, is a popular spot for taking photos and shouldn't be missed!Taipei · 2.3 km from downtown

Asia's first museum dedicated to miniature art, featuring over 200 exquisite works by master miniature artists from around the world. Discover the origins and evolution of miniature art, travel through a time tunnel to iconic global landmarks, and experience unique exotic charm. During their trip to Amsterdam, museum director Lin Wenren and his wife were captivated by the exquisite miniature artworks. From then on, they began collecting various miniature artworks, which eventually led to the establishment of the current museum. Stepping into the Miniatures Museum of Taiwan is like entering a time tunnel. The exhibits, including Tudor-style buildings and Victorian mansions, appear delicate, beautiful, and incredibly lifelike, making them truly worth admiring. The exhibition space at the Miniatures Museum of Taiwan - strolling through the museum is like entering a time tunnel filled with exotic charm. Originating from the miniature art of 16th-century German court nobility, this craft has spread throughout Europe and North America. These delicate artworks range from architectural structures to desk keys, all meticulously crafted according to strict scaling ratios, with 1:12 being the world's mainstream standard for miniature reproductions. The Miniatures Museum of Taiwan showcases miniature artworks collected from around the world, boasting one of the largest collections globally. It features over 200 meticulously arranged exhibits, including dollhouses displaying complete architectural interiors and exteriors, exquisite roomboxes depicting various detailed scenes, and creatively themed miniature works.Taipei · 1.2 km from downtown

Founded in 1908, the Taiwan Museum is a historic museum in Taiwan. Located in Taipei City's Zhongzheng District, the Taiwan Museum boasts a unique blend of classical and modern architecture, making it one of the few cultural assets in Taiwan to retain its original Japanese colonial style. The museum has long been dedicated to the collection and exhibition of natural history, anthropology, and Taiwanese history, serving as a valuable window into Taiwanese culture. The Taiwan Museum boasts a rich collection of natural specimens, including mammals, birds, insects, minerals, and plants. Through carefully curated permanent exhibitions, the museum allows visitors to explore Taiwan's diverse geology and ecological environments. It serves as a key hub for school nature studies and parent-child education. The museum also actively preserves and showcases Taiwan's historical development, with exhibits covering indigenous culture, the history of Han Chinese immigration, colonial artifacts, and the transformations of modern society. These exhibitions help visitors gain a deeper understanding of the historical context and cultural integration of Taiwan's diverse ethnic groups. In addition to the main museum, the Taiwan Museum also features branches such as the Ministry of Railways, the Paleontological Museum, and the Nanmen Museum, covering railway culture, paleontological fossils, and the history of Qing Dynasty city gates. Each branch has its own unique characteristics, yet they connect with each other, allowing visitors to gain a comprehensive understanding of Taiwan from different perspectives. The museum regularly hosts guided tours, lectures, parent-child workshops, and cultural seminars to promote public education and cultural participation. Whether visiting as a school group, a family holiday, or for personal exploration, visitors are guaranteed to gain a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. The Taiwan Museum is more than just an exhibition space; it's a part of Taipei's urban memory. It bears witness to over a century of Taiwan's cultural evolution and symbolizes the importance of preserving and inheriting local history. A stroll through its doors is more than just a museum visit; it's a cultural journey across time and space.Taipei · 2.9 km from downtown

Booking online was smooth and easy. Compared to 7 years ago, Taipei 101 has added nice indoor photo areas, making it more fun than just looking at the view! However, my 6-year-old son had to pay full price because he is taller than average, which felt a bit pricey. Overall, a good experience with nice upgrades!

You can book and use it the same day. Very easy to use, just present and they will assist you to generate physical ticket to gondola. For taipei zoo, they will just screen your qr code and no need to fall in line to the regular tix lane.

Such a wonderful and affordable attraction for families with young children! 🐼🦒❤️Taipei Zoo is huge, with so many different animals to see and explore! The admission fee is incredibly reasonable, making it a great place for families to spend a few hours without breaking the bank.It’s definitely worth setting aside enough time to explore, especially when visiting with little ones, as there’s quite a bit of walking involved.Highly recommended for families travelling to Taipei with kids! 😊

We went to Taiwan during the New Year...We took the cable car to and from Maokong Station to visit tourist attractions. It was the cherry blossom season. The cherry blossoms were super beautiful and it was a great place for family travel. We will go there again next time we have the chance. The air quality is fresh and the scenery is beautiful. We have been to Taiwan many times and still can't get enough... Looking forward to the next trip

On the last day of the Tulip Flower Show at Shilin Official Residence, I visited the garden to admire the tulips of this spring. Fortunately, the tulips were still in full bloom, and I saw many new varieties of flowers, all vying for attention and creating a breathtaking spectacle.

A museum in a very beautiful location and a building with a story. Carefully tells the story of the small island's vicissitudes of life, flowers, birds, fish and insects. Whether it is children or adults, coming here is a good experience. Outside is the 228 Memorial Park, which is rich in greenery and full of fun.
