Taipei 101 Observatory

The Taipei 101 Observatory is obviously not to be missed if you are touring Taiwan. The Taipei 101 itself stands 508m tall and I was astounded by how tall that is as I stood at the base looking up. It is a marvellous sight. Finding the entrance at the base to go up to the observatory can be confusing. So, be there a half hour before the entry time indicated on your online tickets. Different tickets allow access to different floors. It can be confusing. - Floor 88 houses the tuned mass damper. - Floor 89 is 382m above ground and offers panoramic views. - Floor 101 is smaller, is decorated to look like a garden, and offers the same panoramic views. It is good if you want to take portraits with the cityscape in the background. It might be less crowded than the other floors since the tickets to this level are extra and not by a little. Photographers will need to bring a hood to cut the intense reflections on the glass, to stand any chance of getting a good shot of the cityscape.

Prędkość wjazdu i zjazdu jest potażająca, widoki niesamowite - spacerując po punkcie obserwacyjnym nie czuć jak y się było ponad 500 m nad ziemią (tym bardziej, że u nas wjazd na 15 piętro wieżowca zajmuje tyle co tu na punkt obserwacyjny)
