Once the world's tallest building, Taipei 101 is still the city's defining icon, and its observatory serves up sweeping views across the basin to the mountains. The giant golden tuned mass damper is a genuine engineering marvel.
High-speed lifts whisk you to indoor and outdoor decks on the upper floors, and clear evenings are best for the city lights.
Local tip: Book a timed ticket ahead to skip the queue and aim for just before sunset.
