Taipei 101
The most recognizable building in Taipei, if not all of Taiwan, is Taipei 101. It is located in the center of Taipei's business district and soars an incredible 509.2 meters into the sky, making it an excellent location for dining, shopping, and taking in the view. It was the highest skyscraper in the world for six years (up until Dubai's Burj Khalifa was finished in 2010), and it continues to be a stunning sight and a must-see.
The observatory on the 89th level and the outdoor observatory deck on the 91st are Taipei 101's main draws. The building's highest floor is this one, with the floors above it housing broadcasting equipment and the absolute top, floor 101, housing a restaurant.
The levels above it are where broadcasting equipment is located, and the very top, floor 101, is a super-exclusive VIP club that is only accessible by invitation. This is the highest floor of the building that is accessible to the general public. The observatory's admission costs NT$500, but the vista is definitely worth it. You enjoy a 360-degree view of the city and the mountains beyond, with no other Taipei building coming close in height.
