the top five ... tallest buildings
Taipei 101
Taipei, Taiwan
Standing 509.2m tall with 101 floors, this is the first building in the world to have rooms more than half a kilometre up in the air.
Most visitors prefer to explore the bottom six floors of shops, restaurants, nightclubs and cinemas, all designed by a fung shui master.
Visitors who want to see the city from the observation deck on the 89th floor can take one of the world's swiftest lifts.
These lifts move passengers at an amazing 16.83 metres per second, or 63 kilometres per hour. This means you can move from the ground to the top in less than 45 seconds!
