most famous landmarks both in Asia and in the world. In 2004 (when it opened), and for several years after,
it was the tallest building on our planet. It was the first building in the world more than half a kilometer in
height. Sometimes, on rainy days, the top of this skyscraper cannot be seen as it rises high above the gray
clouds.

The Taipei 101 building (or simply, the ‘101 building’) mixes modern with traditional design. There
are eight main sections, each with eight floors (eight is a lucky number in Chinese). In total, there are 101
floors. The 101 building is very special because it is so tall, and also because it must be very strong and very
safe – there are many earthquakes and strong wind storms called typhoons in Taiwan. For about US $15, in
the lower shopping mall, you can buy a ticket and take the fastest elevator in the world up to the 91st floor.
