Taipei 101 Observatory

Formerly the world's tallest structure, a visit to Taipei 101 is quite simply a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the Taiwanese capital. On a clear day, you can take in some of the best views in Asia and see all the way down to the Taiwan straits, as well as clear views of the mountainous spine of this beautiful island. What's more, you can get to the top in one of the world's fastest elevators arriving at the top in a mere 37 seconds! An incredible feat of engineering, this megastructure is stabilized by an enormous 730-ton damper - an equally impressive sight on the 87th floor.

Black Mountain Valley

 

With a total forest coverage of 97%, Chongqing's well-preserved Black Mountain Valley is a perfect place to visit for those looking to escape the fast pace of the crowded city! Spend a peaceful but fun day of exploring the outdoors as you take on this natural wonder that's recently become a hotspot for tourists and nature-lovers. Walk on the wooden planks, in-between the two narrow valleys, as you make your way through the massive area and see numerous waterfalls and lush green forests. Marvel at the stunning sight of the tall rock formations, with the dark color of the stone, perfectly contrasting the pastel colors of the sky behind it. You can also hop aboard an optional sightseeing bus for a guided tour (in Chinese) of Black Mountain Valley, or purchase tickets to ride the cable car and get an unbeatable birds-eye view of this scenic area!
