Taipei 101 was the tallest building in the world until 2010 Burj Dubai broke the record. The exterior of the building looks like a bamboo; a growing bamboo in Mandarin represents promotion in career. Every year, Hundreds of thousands people gather around on New Year’s Eve to watch the massive fireworks that last about 5 minutes letting off from Taipei 101.

The existence of Taipei 101 is especially amazing, since it was built on a country that has around a thousand sensible earthquakes per year. Taipei 101 is undoubtedly a landmark in Taipei; I can clearly see it from my home university and also my home, which takes me over 30 minutes to get there by MRT.
