The building that i like the most is the Taipei 101 which was the highest skyscraper in the world from 2003 to 2010.
The first time that I visited it I was about 15 years old and I loved it, it was the most awesome thing that I have seen back then. I like it so much because of the stabilizing system of the skyscraper, which consist of a ball of 680 tons hanging at the 92nd floor.
This structure is a mall centre until the 5th floor and from there on it is a financial center. It features about 77000 square meters of shopping being one of the biggest malls in Taiwan. It also has a huge food court but not any food cout it has high class gourmet restaurants and Taiwan traditional fast food.
The skyscraper is like a really long and huge sword stabbed in to the ground, it is really simple from the outside just like another buisness centre but what it makes it special are the indoor and outdoor observatory at 89th and 91st floor. Also it has the faster lift in the world, it has a maximum speed of 60.6 km/h, which just takes you 40 seconds to get to 89th floor from the ground floor.
I think locals are of the building because it made Taiwai more famous internationally and also attract a lot of tourists. People are also proud of the meaning of the name Taipei 101, it means 100+1 where 100 is like the 7 in Chile, and +1 because they wanted to go beyond the best.
