Shin Kong Life Tower, Taipei

The second tallest building in Taipei

In 2010, Taipei's second tallest building.

Shin Kong Life Tower in its full grace.


The Shin Kong Life tower used to be Taipei's and Taiwan's no 1 building in the past (1993 - 1997), but now it's always in the shadow of Tuntex Sky Tower in Kaohsiung and of course Taipei 101 in Taipei. I haven't seen a huge density of high-rise buildings in Taipei, most of them are scattered around the whole city, not like what you see in Singapore, HK or Kuala Lumpur. And so a very tall building really stands out in Taipei City and so did the SKL tower for me. It's nearly 245m tall and it's located near the Taipei railway station. It's definitely not jaw-dropping like Taipei 101, but it's worth to mention, because it's one of Taipei landmarks. And through time, it grows on you. I have a plan to go on top one day and check the view of Taipei below.
