Tai
Pei 101is formerly known as the TaiPei World Financial Center
It
is a landmark skyscraper located in Xinyi
District, Taipei, Taiwan.
This Building reached
the height 508 m with 101 floors.
In July 2011, this building had been
certified as the tallest and largest green building in the world by Leadership
in Energy and environment Design (LEED).
Taipei 101 comprises 101 floors above
ground and 5 floors underground.
A multi-level shopping mall adjoining the
tower houses hundreds of fashionable stores, restaurants and clubs. Taipei 101
participates in the symbolism of a world center where earth and sky meet and
the four compass directions join.
At night the bright yellow gleam from its pinnacle casts Taipei
101 in the role of a candle or torch upholding the ideals of
liberation and welcome. From 6:00 to 10:00 each evening.
The tower's lights display one of seven colors in the spectrum.
The colors coincide with the days of the week:

Taipei 101 Mall
Tai Pei 101 provides a center for business and recreation.
Taipei 101's elevators sweep visitors from the fifth floor to
the 89th-floor observatory in only 37 seconds.
The multi-story retail mall adjoining the tower is home to
hundreds of fashionable stores, restaurants, clubs and other attractions.
The mall's interior is modern in design even as it makes
use of traditional elements.
The 91st floor observatory is the highest floor that is open to
the public, but unlike the leased/private floors from 7~90F, there is no sign
of even a visible access point to the topmost floors on Level 91

floor) and an Outdoor Observation deck (91st floor).
