Standing 508m tall, this iconic bamboo-shaped tower held the record of world's tallest building for 6 years (it's now 2nd after Dubai's Khalifa Tower). It's platinum-certified as the world's largest "green" building and a fine example of 𝘧𝘦𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘩𝘶𝘪 design. 📸 Taking photos with the tower as a backdrop is a must, and hunting for the best photo spots is a fun past time for many the Taipei resident (𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘧𝘦𝘸, 𝘴𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵 😉).
