We can see there's a small tower rises beyond the outdoor observation deck, it contains the levels 92 to The floors in the small tower is mostly for mechanical uses, with the exception of the top floor on level , there's a VIP club named summit on level , it generally only open to celebrities, a bit similar to the rd floor on Empire State Building, which also only opens to celebrities, the difference on this Summit is that the ordinary people can also access there if they spent more than one million New Taiwanese dollars shopping in Taipei Mall at the base of the tower.
The design of Taipei is heavily affected by Chinese culture, style, lucky number. Beautiful in spirit and design , one notices immediately that its spire is architecturally influenced by the bamboo plant, native to China. Taipei Tower was the tallest building in the world from to , when it was surpassed in height by Burj Dubai.
A mall is found at the base , and visitors can shop after visiting the tower. Upscale shopping as well as a supermarket are all part of the excitement.
