Standing at 82 meters tall, Kouri Ocean Tower – located on Kouri Island – offers guests uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean's myriad colors.
The tower is also home to the Shell Museum, and two restaurants: the Ocean Cafe, which makes Neapolitan-style pizza, and Restaurant Island Blue. To get to the tower you'll have to ride a winding path in an automatic golf cart, which is all part of the fun.
Taipei 101 is a skyscraper in Taipei, Taiwan. It was once the tallest building on Earth, and plays host to the country's main New Year's Eve fireworks celebration. The public can access the top of the tower, known as Taipei 101 Observatory, for panoramic views of the city.
The National Palace Museum is often described as the most important museum in the Chinese-speaking world. It is home to some 700,000 artifacts, of which only about 3,000 can be displayed at once. So, if you visit often enough, you can cover 8,000 years of Chinese history!
In the final years of the Chinese Civil War, many of the artifacts were carried across China to Taiwan for safe-keeping.
