Taipei 101 Best Photo Spot
Sure, the views from inside Taipei 101 are amazing, but if you want some killer shots of the building itself, there are a few sweet spots around the city that you won’t want to miss. Let’s dive into the best spots for capturing Taipei 101 from the outside:
1. Elephant Mountain (Xiangshan)
This is the go-to place for getting that postcard-worthy shot of Taipei 101. It’s a bit of a hike, but trust me, it’s totally worth it. You’ll get an unbeatable view of the tower against the Taipei skyline, especially around sunset. Just be prepared for the crowds, as this is a popular spot for photographers.
2. 44 South Village (Sisinancun)
This spot offers an interesting contrast between the modern Taipei 101 and the older, low-rise buildings of the village. It’s perfect if you want to capture the old-meets-new vibe of Taipei. Plus, the quirky, artsy surroundings add an extra layer of charm to your shots.
3. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall
If you want a more structured, framed shot, head over to Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. The architecture of the hall, combined with Taipei 101 towering in the background, makes for a seriously cool photo.
4. Hooters (Xinyi)
Yep, you read that right—there’s a Hooters in Taipei, and it’s got a great view of Taipei 101. It’s not just the food you’re coming for; the view from this spot is surprisingly good.
5. Takemura Izakaya
Similarly, Takemura Izakaya, a little Japanese restaurant, gives a perfect view of the tower if you’re looking for a more old city vibe.
6. Uni-President Department Store
For a more urban feel, check out the area around the Uni-President Department Store. The busy streets, combined with Taipei 101 looming in the background, make for a lively shot that really captures the energy of the city.
7. Poland Taipei Office
This one’s a bit of a hidden gem. The Polish Taipei Office has a clean, minimalist setting that frames Taipei 101 beautifully. It’s a bit off the usual tourist path, but if you’re looking for a more creative angle, this is the place to go.
8. Taipei 101 Rainbow Walk
Located near Taipei City Hall, at Exit 2 of the MRT, is another photo spot for Taipei 101. Also known as “Taipei 101 Rainbow Walk”
