Despite widespread publicity and millions of visitors a year that come to see the tower, no one is really sure what goes on up there! The irony is that millions of people from around the world stare at the top of the tower on New Year's Eve as Taipei 's spectacular fireworks shows are broadcasted internationally. Only in was a TV film crew finally allowed inside of the Summit club; its existence was publicly acknowledged.
Rumor has it that only foreign dignitaries, special VIPs, and people who spend a hefty sum in the mall are invited to the top for the best view of the city. The st floor is divided into different sections, so speculation still exists that the public hasn't seen all that there is to know about the secret floor.

The floors in the small tower is mostly for mechanical uses, with the exception of the top floor on level , there's a VIP club named summit on level , it generally only open to celebrities, a bit similar to the rd floor on Empire State Building, which also only opens to celebrities, the difference on this Summit is that the ordinary people can also access there if they spent more than one million New Taiwanese dollars shopping in Taipei Mall at the base of the tower.
The design of Taipei is heavily affected by Chinese culture, style, lucky number. The main portion of the building is composed of 8 same modules that flare outward, each module has 8 floors and stacked on the top of another lower module, the number 8 is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture, it represents prosperity and good fortune, and the unique form of the tower was inspired by the form of the pagodas in ancient China.
And number 4 is considered unlucky in Chinese culture, as the pronunciation of this number is similar to the word death in Chinese, and for this reason there's no 44th floor in the tower, the lost floor is replaced by level 43, with the level 42A replacing actual level 43 to compensate for the skipped floor number. Since Taipei is built in an earthquake zone and also subject to typhoon winds, a tuned mass damper is suspended from 91st to 87th floor of the tower. The tuned mass damper is simply a steel pendulum hung with several ropes, the pendulum will swing in the opposite direction of the sway of the building which caused by strong winds or earthquakes, by this way the sway of the building is reduced, making the building more resistant to such kinds of natural disasters.
Many other skyscrapers also feature tuned mass dampers, but the one on Taipei is largest and heaviest, at 5. Taipei had been having the world's fastest elevators for 10 years, until in when the elevators in Shanghai Tower set a new record. I would only recommend to go to the top if the weather is clear. There are also many more things to do in the Taipei : There is not only a shopping mall with luxury brands at the bottom of the Taipei tower but also a large foodcourt, a supermarket full with Taiwanese food souvenirs.
Also a famous dumpling restaurant is located at the entrance of Taipei Taipei has two viewing platforms. One indoor viewing platform with a restaurant is at the 89th floor, an outdoor platform is on the 91th floor. Both are accesible with the same ticket.
From the viewing platform you have the best view of Taipei city. Did you know the pond in front of Sun yat-sen-memorial hall looks like an Iphone and the Apple store looks just like a macbook from above? Go and look for them! Best time to go to the top The most popular time to go to the top is during sunset around This results in long waiting times at the entrance around that time.
Personally, I would say the best time to go to the top would be. If I had to choose between day or evening time I would probably choose to go in the evening. It is just fun to see all the city lights, cars and advertising billboards light up the city. Website: www. Besides the obervation decks on the 89th and 92nd floors there is another observation deck which was previously only reserved only for VIPs.
It is known former president of the US bill clinton as well as actor Will smith have been able to visit this platform which is located at m height. However since October the top observation is open for everyone to book! So if you are a real daredevil and the normal platform is not thrilling enough you can experience this special panoramic view.
Only twelve people are allowed to join at once, and you will need to wear a safety harnass. You can book your tickets here. On the 35th floor of the Taipei is a small starbucks located. For long time it was the highest starbucks in the world. However since in july a starbucks opened on the 99th floor at m in the Haeundae X The Sky tower in Korea it is now the 2nd highest starbucks in the world.
Nevertheless the view is still amazing and it is realy worth effort to make a reservation. Make sure you are on time at the elevators of the tower, someone will come to pick you up. Famous is also the yearly new year fireworks from Taipei
