Taipei 101

Date: July 25, 2013   Place: Taipei 101, Taipei, Taiwan
Taipei 101 Construction began 1999, completed 2004.
Floor count: 101.  Architectural height: 508 meters (1667 ft)


Using moving video for both walls (woods) and floor (railroad tracks),
feeling like I was travelling in a transparent train cart.
That's why people hesitate to step in!
Beautiful bridges leading to Taiwan's first express way, MacArthur Thruway
(construction began 1961).  The name of this thruway was officially announced
on opening day, May 2, 1964 to remember General Douglas MacArthur died
earlier. The one with yellow arch is "MacArthur 1", the blue is 
"MacArthur 2" .

Song Shan Airport for mostly domestic flights, and some international (H.K., Japan...)
The Grand Hotel is the one with pumpkin-colored roof on the left side.
Nice building, but not my favorite.
This is a popular photo spot, it takes long to get my turn!
