Things to do in Taipei 101

Even when the weather isn't ideal, the scenery is still spectacular, and every staff member is incredibly friendly and happy to help with directions.

Booking the Taipei 101 Observatory ticket on Klook was quick and straightforward, and the QR code made entry very convenient.

Stayed here for about 35 minutes only after roaming around and after taking pictures. Got a bit lost finding the queue but the security/ staff are very nice and accommodating. It's a good experience for those who are in Taipei for the first time. But there were just too many people. No one could take a whole body photo by the sunset side (the 1st side you see right after stepping off the elevator) because some people were just sitting on the floor facing the view and just blocking it for long periods of time. There are other sides of the observatory with fewer people that we were able to take photos. Sunset photo was taken at around 5:40-5:45pm on the first week of March. Good for first timers in Taipei, but will not repeat it again.

the freebie discount coupons of Taipei101 for the coffee and dessert were not worth it. But the coupon made the queue easier and shorter.

My first time getting a haircut in Taiwan. I didn’t make an appointment and just walked in. The staff helped check if there was an available slot and booked one for me, so I came back about an hour later. Nina was my hairstylist. She was very patient and friendly, and gave me advice on what hairstyle suits my face shape better. The hair wash and massage were really good and I even dozed off while doing my hair. Very nice experience. Will definitely come back again!

Taiwan's weather is very unpredictable, and I was worried that heavy fog might prevent me from going, so I didn't make a reservation in advance. I had planned to go to Xiangshan Lookout, but it rained so much that I quickly booked a different observatory instead. I had intended to enter at 8 PM, but after dinner, I had some free time, so I arrived about an hour early. They allowed me to change my entry time once, which was great! Even though it was a weekday, there were so many people. There were package tour groups and school trips, and I had mistakenly thought it would be quiet on a weekday. We entered at 7 PM and waited about 30 minutes for the elevator to go up. Even though it was raining, there was no fog, so we enjoyed the night view. They also gave out discount coupons for the cafe, but there was no place to sit and eat, so I just left without using it. Many people were sitting on the floor, drinking beverages, and enjoying the night view.

As a tall building seeker i werr not disapointed. the building is beutiful and it got a good souvernire shop at the top. manny good spots for pictures and a mascot you got to love. It's an Icon of Taiwan and highly recomend this trip if you are in Taipei.
