Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, is a big city lying in a valley in the north of the Taiwan island. The city is arranged around a grid structure, with wide roads running from north to south and east to west. It lacks an old historic core (probably all old buildings were distroyed in WW II or simply torn down to make place for new buildings) and is not as elegant as Singapore, Hong Kong or Kuala Lumpur.
In Taipei currently there is the tallest building in the world, the Taipei 101 tower.
