| Taipei 101 Observatory
Located in the bustling Xinyi District, Taipei 101 is a must-visit attraction for travelers coming to Taiwan. The observatory is located on the 89th floor of the building, and ascending the tower to look out over the city of Taipei has become an essential experience for visitors.
Whiz up in the high-speed elevator and ascend to an altitude of 382 meters to look down on the entire city of Taipei from high above!
With a magnificent 360-degree all-around view, on a clear day, the buildings of all sizes in the city transform into cute little models nestled among the rolling green hills, making visitors marvel at this beautiful and charming city of Taipei.

In addition to the ultra-high-speed elevators, the building interior also features the world's largest and heaviest wind damper, measuring 5.5 meters in diameter and weighing 660 metric tons. It is also the only wind damper open to the public for viewing.
It is welded from 41 steel plates, each 12.5 cm thick, and suspended from the 92nd floor down to the 87th floor, serving as one of the critical structures for Taipei 101's wind and earthquake resistance. Visitors can catch a glimpse of this spectacular damper system during their visit.
The observatory also offers a variety of other facilities, including high-power binoculars, commemorative photo services, a beverage bar, souvenir shops, and the world's highest mailbox, hoping that these thoughtful designs will bring visitors an unforgettable experience.
