In Taiwan, it is second only to The Taipei 101 in height. Its unusual architecture has made it one of Kaohsiung's greatest landmarks. After dusk, its unique lighting makes Kaohsiung's skyline come alive. The tower has the second highest viewing area in Taiwan and the world's second fastest elevator. This amazing elevator travels at a speed of 600 m/min and takes only 43 seconds to reach the viewing level on the 75th floor (about 300 meters up).When the elevator reaches 120 meters, the elevator ceiling illuminates with stars. This gives visitors the feeling of being lifted up into the heavens. The 75th floor provides great views of Kaohsiung's seaside and city skyline. When visibility is good, it is possible to see the Siaoliouciou, located off the coast of Pingtung. This viewing area is at its best at dusk. There is even a restaurant and pub, providing a great ambiance for dinner. Photos:
