Taibei 101 is a symbol of the economic power of the Republic of China – a state recognized by the international community only partially. The standard of living and economic stability here is noticeably higher than in the “rest” China. In this skyscraper there are the fastest elevators in the world, they move at a speed of 60.6 km/h, and this is a little more than the maximum speed of the car in a settlement (in Russia). From the fifth floor to the sighting site on the 89th floor you can get in 39 seconds. By the way, now an electrician in the Moscow region is very in demand, more details will not be superfluous to find out about him.
On the territory of the tower and in it various international events are held. Since 2005, the local “highlight” has been an international run on the stairs to the 91 floor (total 2046 steps). The winner of the first season, the Australian Paul Crake, ran to the tower in 10 minutes 29 seconds. Rich symbolism is encrypted in the building. So, the repeated segments contain a reference to the design of the pagodas. There are 8 such segments in total, each in 8 floors. The number 8 in the Chinese tradition is associated with wealth and luck, and in digital technology-with a byte (8 bits): IT industry-one of the main ones in the Taiwanese economy.
