Taiwan's Pride: Taipei 101

When you stand in front of Taipei 101 and look up, you will understand why it is Taiwan's pride!
Do you know where the world’s tallest building it is? Flapping through the tellurion, if you stop right in the location of Taiwan, then you’ve got it right. Yes, the world’s tallest building is located in the capital city of Taiwan, Taipei, which is called Taipei 101. The height of Taipei101 is 1,670.60 ft. The building is so tall that it has received lots of awards such as the Emporis Skyscraper Award in 2004. It also has been hailed as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World and Seven Wonders of Engineering.


Maybe you may wonder why it is called “Taipei 101.” Why is the number “101”? It might not hard to guess because of the height of 101 floors. But there are more meanings behind this number! The number also reflects its location in Taipei’s international business district, 101 mailing code. To go further, it also symbolizes high ideals by going one better on 100, which is a Chinese traditional number of perfection.

Taipei 101 rises straight up in this earthquakes-frequent country and has no fear to face the strong wind of typhoons. It is because Taipei 101 is designed to withstand these natural calamities. The stability of the design became evident when a 6.8-magnitude earthquake rocked Taiwan on March 31, 2002.


There are lots of activities held in Taipei 101. On New Year’s Eve, fireworks will launch from Taipei 101. It lightens up the whole Taipei and brings the new hope for the upcoming year. Here is the clip of the fireworks in 2009:




Although another competitor, Buri Dubai in Dubai, will overtake the title of the world’s tallest building in September 2009, Taipei 101 is still Taiwan’s pride.

One of the reviewers commented that the article is good.
One of the reviewers suggested the writer to mention about when Taipei 101 is well-built and also mention about the use of the building. The editor suggested the writer to add a subtitle which emphasizes the proudest part of Taipei 101 the writer would like to focus on.
