Needless to say, Taipei 101 is the most conspicuous building in Taipei City, and it is definitely noteworthy.

Over 500 meters high (around 1700 feet), Taipei 101 used to be the highest skyscraper all over the world before 4 Jan, 2010, when Khalifa Tower was completed.

Shaped like a bamboo, Taipei 101 symbolizes integrity and progress in Chinese culture.

And if you are interested in overlooking the whole Taipei City, you can go to the 5th floor and then take the fastest elevator to the 88th and the 89th floor, enjoying the panorama.

Usually, lots of fireworks will be set off on Taipei 101 in Western New Year.

If you want to see what the fireworks looked like, there are some photos on Wikipedia.
