Taipei 101 An outstanding landmark is enough to transform a city, e.g. the Empire State Building in New York City, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, or the new Jinmao Mansion in Shanghai. In the 21st century, Taipei needs a more expansive stage for a more brilliant performance. 101 stories above ground and 5 stories below, the 508-meter-tall Taipei Project 101 is an engineering feat that’s expected to bring Taipei to the world.

The National Palace Museum houses the world's largest assemblage of Chinese art treasures, one which spans China's nearly 5,000-year history.Most of the museum's 620,000 art objects were part of the Chinese imperial collection, which began over 1,000 years ago in the early Sung dynasty.
