If you ever get lost in Taipei, you can always orient yourself by locating Taipei 101 on the horizon. Its steely spire and distinctive shape resembling a staggered bamboo shoot rise above the capital’s largely low-rise skyline. It is one of the first recognizable buildings to come into view on return trips to Taiwan, signaling that “home is not far away now.”
For those of us who call Taipei home, Taipei 101 is just that: a beloved symbol of the city and a fixture on the urban landscape. But unless we’re hosting out-of-towners, it’s not the first place that comes to mind as somewhere to visit. Over the past couple of years, however, in response to the challenges of COVID-19 and the growing number of new high-rise competitors such as the Taipei Nan Shan Plaza next door, Taiwan’s best-known skyscraper has been enjoying a bit of a spruce-up that might just convince you to head over there for a look.
