Taipei was once the home to the tallest building in the world. Taipei101 had held that title between 2004 and 2010, before the Burj Khalifa in Dubai took over. The figure in the name of the building stands for the number of floors. Taipei101 towers over the capital and serves as an icon for the modern evolution of the country. There is an observation deck on the 91st floor, which is some 1,285 feet above the ground. The observation deck gives the visitors an opportunity to enjoy in the majestic sight of this incredible city.
