Formerly the world's tallest architecture, a visit to Taipei 101 is quite simply a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the capital of Taiwan, Taipei.

On a clear day you can take in some of the best views in Asia and see all the way down to the Taiwan straits, as well as clear views of the mountainous spine of this beautiful island.

What's more, you can get to the top in one of the world's fastest elevators , which were the fastest elevators according to the Guinness World Records in 2004, arriving all the way to the top in a mere 37 seconds!

An incredible feat of engineering, this megastructure is stabilized by an enormous 730 ton damper - an equally impressive sight on the 88th floor.
