Taipei 101

The pictures don’t do it justice. The design of the building is in such a way that its massive all the way up, unlike Sydney and Auckland towers that are a building on a big stick.

The elevator goes at 1010 m/min, so takes about 40 seconds to get from bottom to top including accelerating and slowing down. When you look down its like you are looking out of a plane  window.

Note the size of the temple then look at the footprint of some of the high rise buildings.

Looking down 400m of stairwell makes you feel kind of queasy.
