An landmark building can be a catalyst for a city. Facing the 21st century, Taipei needs a wider stage. Like the Empire State Building, the Eiffel Tower, and the late Jinmao Tower in Shanghai.
With a special mirroring principle on the floor you can experience the illusion of an infinite horizon, creating the impression that you are living in a kaleidoscope. Female visitors in short skirts are kindly reminded to be aware of the reflection of the floor.
The technical name of the wind damping ball is Tuned Mass Damper (TMD). A TMD is a passive system tailored to the needs of the building. Its main purpose is to reduce swaying by strong winds to make working in such a tall tower comfortable. Traditional concealed damping systems are out of sight, but the Taipei 101 TMD is both functional and an aesthetic attraction. Visitors to the observation deck can get a glimpse of the overall operation of the damping system.

It takes only 37 seconds to go from the 5th to the 89th floor observation deck. These elevators are the only intelligent high-speed elevators in the world equipped with constant pressure devices, dampers, and high-temperature ceramic brake systems.
An excellent photo spot, combining romantic scenery with the backdrop of a high-rise city view, creating a stunning picture.
