Taipei's big attraction is Taipei 101, currently the tallest Skyscraper tower in the world since 2004 which beats Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. The Burj Dubai will take that record upon its completion by the time it opens in mid-2009.
As night falls, various parts of Taipei come alive and bustling with activities. It's a night market where the locals gather to sell their speciality or local delicacies.
Popular taiwan sausages. Apparently, these Taiwan sausages came with larger sizes compared to the ones we had in Malaysia. Hmmm, not my cup of tea though.
Fruit juice stall with a wide range of fruits
oyster pancake
The locals fishing for shrimps. The ones caught were barbequed right there, poor little shrimps.

The city looks pretty cool, with sweeping views of the mountains and valleys surrounding.
I am celebrating one year aniversary, that company does not send me out for any business trip, after last year Dec went to Taiwan for supplier audit. Aiii...
ReplyDeleteTaiwan night market is super good. I visit different night market when having one week over there.
I think Hong Kong is better than Taiwan. That's just my opinion: ) The Taipei 101 may be the tallest building, but I still prefer our very own Twin Towers, don't you agree? Twin Towers looks more beautiful and majestic.
