Tallest building in Taipei

Taipei 101, the world's second tallest building, is Taiwan's most recognizable landmark today. It was the tallest building in the world for six years (2004-2010), until Dubai's Burj Khalifa opened. Although the record has been broken, Taipei 101 continues to take visitors to new heights. The first thing Taipei 101 reminded me of was a stack of Chinese take-out boxes (Chao fan boxes?). It even appeared to have a chopstick protruding from its roof to me. But that's just one of the numerous pictures it conjures up in people's minds. One of the tower's many symbolisms is its eight sections, each with eight storeys. And, as you may have guessed, the number eight is considered a very lucky number in many Chinese cultures.
