Taipei 101 Observatory Ticket - Special Offer

The best viewpoint in Taipei,
101 Tower Observatory

Taipei 101 Observatory is a must-see for anyone visiting Taipei. Taipei 101, the tallest building in Taipei, stands at a whopping 382 meters tall. It is always considered a must-see tourist attraction in Taiwan. The observatory on the 89th floor offers a 360-degree view of downtown Taipei, and you can also visit the outdoor observatory on the 91st floor.

I'll tell you how to get there.

Taipei 101 is easily accessible via the Taiwan MRT. Take the MRT to Taipei 101/World Trade Center Station and take Exit 4, which is connected to the Taipei 101 underground food court. Take the stairs or escalator out of Exit 4 and you will see the Taipei 101 entrance near the LOVE sculpture.

Elevator of 101 Tower listed in Guinness Book of Records

How fast does an elevator have to be to be listed in the Guinness Book of World Records? The elevator in Taipei 101 tower goes from the 5th floor to the 89th floor observation deck in just 37 seconds. That’s why it’s listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s fastest elevator. One of the fun things about it is riding it yourself to see how fast it really is.

The secret of Taipei 101 tower is damper

If you go up to Taipei 101, you can see the golden weight damper. This is the damper that keeps the Taipei 101 tower from collapsing. Located between the 88th and 92nd floors, the damper is a 6m diameter, 600t weight weight that keeps the building from collapsing even in earthquakes or typhoons.

I highly recommend you see this so you don't miss it.

Introducing the best photo zone

The best photo zones at the Taipei 101 observatory are the four corner zones. The corner zones are the prettiest. There are photo zones that require you to take pictures, like the one in the photo above, but even in places where there are no photo zones, the corners are always popular.

Meet the fantastic night view

When is the best time to visit? According to Wag’s data, 6pm is the most popular time. This is the time when you can see the sunset and night view at the same time, so many people visit the Taipei 101 Tower Observatory at this time. The view of downtown Taipei from here is truly fantastic. I recommend seeing the sunset and night view at the same time.

I recommend some good restaurants nearby.

Taipei 101 Tower's basement level to the 5th floor above ground is occupied by restaurants and shopping malls. So I recommend eating before going up to the 5th floor, which is the entrance to the observatory. The most popular restaurant among them is Din Tai Fung on the basement level. You can taste various dishes such as dim sum, beef noodles, and fried rice, so I recommend stopping by if you go to the observatory for lunch or dinner.
