Taipei 101

It boasts a high-class, fashionable mall, an incredibly speedy elevator that takes only 37 seconds to reach the Observation Deck on the 89th floor and a food market that rivals the one at Harrods in London. Tickets for the elevator ride are available from a special desk; the price at the time of printing was NTW 400 ( Please be advised that large bags must be deposited in a locker before entering the elevator.
From Taipei 101, you can also browse other shopping areas or visit some of the colourful local markets. Since lunch is on your own, you can choose from a wide range of dining options.
