Once you're in Taipei, you can be sure that the towering Taipei 101 stands as a landmark for the country. Whether you're coming along from the airport, or whether I was at MaoKong, Taipei 101 seemed to always be in the background.
From our hotel in Da'An, it took us about 30 minutes to get to this glass structure that is shaped like a bamboo shoot. The building was totally mesmerising and I think I stood there for about 20 minutes, absorbing the majesty of it.
There's an observatory deck that we thought we would skip. Aftert having a panoramic view of Taipei from the Maokong Gondola, we did not want to fork out NT450 per person for another view of the city. But I'm quite sure the 360 degree view would be nice, especially if the sky is clear.
At the Taipei 101 Mall, you have all the branded labels rolled into this place. So if you have spare cash to burn, here's the place.
