The pres­sur­ized ele­va­tor ride up is sur­pris­ingly fast. And the view out the top of Taipei 101 is pretty cool. Like most tourist des­ti­na­tions, it’s the sort of place where you have to exit through the sou­venir shop. Food court in the mall down below is pretty tasty, though. But on the whole, I enjoyed the lively night mar­kets and streets in the other dis­tricts of Taipei more.
