TAIWAN - TAIPEI
Taipei 101
Taipei City is the capital of the Republic of China
(Taiwan). Situated at the northern tip of the island of Taiwan, Taipei is
located on the Tamsui
River. Taipei 101 comprises 101 floors above ground and 5 floors underground. The
building was architecturally
created as a symbol of the evolution of technology and Asian tradition.
Its postmodernist approach
to style incorporates traditional design elements and gives them modern
treatments. The tower is designed to withstand typhoons and earthquakes. Taipei 101 features an Indoor Observatory (89th floor) and an Outdoor
Observatory (91st floor). Both offer
360-degree views and attract visitors from around the world.
A nice stamp.

Fisherman's Wharf
Fisherman's Wharf is a multi-purpose leisure fishing port developed by the New Taipei City Government. There are magnificent floating piers and a spacious park, with a bridge in the shape of a boat spanning across the harbor and a wooden path stretching over 300 meters at the waterfront. It is relaxing to lean against the fence enjoying the breeze and sights at the Danshui River mouth. In the evening, this is the best place to watch the view of the sunset.
A nice stamp.
