Located in a prime location in Taipei, Taipei 101 was primarily planned by Taipei Financial Center Corporation, a consortium of fourteen companies, in collaboration with a professional team. Designed by renowned architect C.Y. Lee, the project transcends the concept of a single volume, using the auspicious number "eight" (a homophone for "prosperity") as a design unit. Each eight-story building forms a structural unit, interconnected and stacked to form the overall structure. This creates a rhythmic and dynamic aesthetic, pioneering a new style for international skyscrapers. Ultra-high-speed elevators: Taipei 101 Observatory is equipped with two ultra-high-speed elevators, with an ascent speed of up to 1010 meters per minute. It only takes 37 seconds to go from the 5th floor to the 89th floor observation deck. These two elevators are also equipped with constant pressure devices in the car, dampers, and high-temperature resistant ceramic braking systems, making them intelligent high-speed elevators that integrate high technology. The 89th-floor indoor observation deck, illuminated by dazzling lights at night, creates a dreamlike and immersive experience through its glass-enclosed landscape. Not only does it offer panoramic views of the city skyline, but it also features unique, private photo windows, ensuring every moment becomes a classic shot! Wind Damping Sphere: The full official name of the Taipei 101 wind damping sphere is the Tuned Mass Damper (TMD). It is a passive damping system custom-designed to meet the needs of this building, located centrally on floors 87-92. Its main purpose is to reduce the building's swaying during strong winds, minimizing discomfort for those working in the building. Unlike traditional concealed damping systems, the Taipei 101 wind damping sphere's design balances functionality and aesthetics, allowing a clear view of the entire damping system's operation from the observation deck. The multi-section exterior design naturally mitigates the wind field effect on the ground caused by airflow from high-rise buildings, and ensures pedestrian safety and comfort through the separation of green planting areas in the architectural design. Infinite Sky: Utilizing a unique mirroring principle, the interplay of reflections and rotations between the atrium and floor creates a visual experience of boundless space and limitless expanse, making visitors feel as if they are in a kaleidoscope world. Helpful Reminder: Female visitors wearing short skirts should be aware of the reflection issues on the mirrored floor. Rainbow Neon Zone: The night view from above, combined with neon lights, is a popular spot for taking photos and shouldn't be missed!Taipei · 59.5 km from Hsinchu County

The beauty of Hsinchu lies in its hills, lakes, sky, ocean and even on every leaf. Emei Lake is located between Huguang Village and Fuxing Village in Emei Township, Hsinchu. It was formed by the storage of water during the construction of the Dapu Reservoir. It is also the first reservoir designed and built by the Chinese themselves. Its main functions are irrigation water and flood control. Standing by the lake and looking out, the green mountains are reflected on the lake, sparkling and complementing each other. There are also many small islands in the lake. Touring around the lake feels like being in a fairyland on earth, like a dream. In this rippling landscape gallery, you can take a leisurely boat ride, ride a bicycle and enjoy the breeze on your face, or sit by the lake and relax, feeling the beauty of nature. When you come here, you will find that Hsinchu is not only a technology capital, it is also a place full of poetry and painting.

Small towns full of Hakka cultural characteristics, take the Taitie Inner Bay Extension to the terminal, Neiwan Old Street, Neiwan Theatre and the nearby Neiwan Suspension Bridge are all must-visit scenic spots. Hakka-style tea is a delicacy to be tasted. When you have time, you can go to the nearby Hakka Hakka Hope Workshop to visit. There is Liu Xingqin Cartoon Museum, with entrance tickets of only 50 Taiwan dollars, the consumption in the park can be offset and exceeded. Value!

The Hsinchu 17-kilometer Coastal Scenic Area refers to the coastline of Hsinchu City, which starts from Nanliao in the north and ends at Nangang in the south, is about 17 kilometers long. It is an offshore accumulation coast. The intertidal zone of thousands of hectares is the largest coastal wetland in northern Taiwan, breeding a large number of shrimps, crabs, snails and shellfish. Among them, the monk crabs and big-eyed crabs that appear in the intertidal zone of Xiangshan mudflats are the most fascinating ecological landscape on the coast of Hsinchu City due to their large number of species and large populations.

We went to Taiwan during the New Year...We took the cable car to and from Maokong Station to visit tourist attractions. It was the cherry blossom season. The cherry blossoms were super beautiful and it was a great place for family travel. We will go there again next time we have the chance. The air quality is fresh and the scenery is beautiful. We have been to Taiwan many times and still can't get enough... Looking forward to the next trip

Qingcao Lake is a small, beautiful lake located in the suburbs of Hsinchu City, Taiwan. Because it is a bit far from the urban area of ​​Hsinchu City, transportation is not very convenient. If you want to go, you can charter a car or rent a bicycle. The environment of Qingcao Lake is particularly beautiful, with blue sky, white jade, green water and green mountains, and you can breathe fresh air.
