台北101，作為台灣著名的摩天大樓之一，曾經是全球最高的建築之一，它的壯觀建築技術和外觀吸引了眾多喜愛現代建築的遊客前來參觀。此外，台北101還設有一些高級品牌店和餐廳，為遊客提供了奢華和品味的消費體驗。

在文化之夜的平日晚上，雖然原本擔心因為時間安排問題參加的人數可能會減少，但最終交換生們還是熱情地報名參加了活動。集合時，大家興奮地與當地學生分享著他們在台灣各地旅行所見所聞。晚上，台北的車水馬龍景象，經過半小時的車程，大家順利抵達了台北101。

一到達101，交換生們被這座高聳入雲的建築所震撼，開始興高采烈地拍攝著101的宏偉景象。在進入101之前，大樓還提供了台灣當地的零食——可樂果。交換生們對這種他們從未嘗試過的新奇零食感到非常好奇，紛紛讚嘆可樂果獨特的美味。

隨後，交換生們分批進入了金氏世界紀錄最快速電梯，直升到了89樓的觀景台。這部快速升降的電梯讓人感到不可思議。一到達88樓，可以近距離欣賞世界上最大的風阻尼器的完整主體結構，並且可以與風阻尼器合影，體驗獨特的觀光體驗。參觀完世界最大風阻尼器區域後，交換生們上到91樓的戶外觀景台，在高樓的頂端感受高空風力、雲霧從身邊經過和開闊視野。

有趣的是，原計劃在101後搭乘觀光巴士返回台大，但由於對信義區探險精神的激發，交換生們最終投票決定不跟隨觀光巴士返回，而是決定在信義區好好享受台北的美景和美食。這個決定讓他們的文化之夜活動更加豐富多彩，充滿了探險和驚喜。台北101不僅是台灣的一座地標建築，也是交換生活中的珍貴記憶之一。

 

Culture Evening – Taipei 101 Tour

Taipei 101, one of Taiwan’s famous skyscrapers, was once one of the tallest buildings in the world, with its spectacular architectural technology and appearance attracting numerous modern architecture enthusiasts to visit. Additionally, Taipei 101 houses some luxury stores and restaurants, offering visitors a luxurious experience.

On a weekday evening for our Culture Night, there were initial concerns that the number of participants might be reduced due to scheduling issues. However, exchange students enthusiastically signed up for the event. Everyone excitedly shared their travel experiences and stories with local students when we gathered. After a half-hour drive through the bustling Taipei city, we arrived at Taipei 101.

Upon arriving at Taipei 101, exchange students were astonished by this skyscraper and eagerly began capturing 101 with their cameras and smartphones. Before entering the building, they were treated to a local Taiwanese snack – 可樂果. The exchange students were curious about this exotic snack they had never tried before and praised its unique deliciousness.

Subsequently, the exchange students entered Taipei 101 and took the Guinness World Record’s fastest elevator, swiftly ascending to the 89th-floor observatory. The speed of the elevator was truly surprising. Once they reached the 88th floor, they got up close to the world’s largest tuned mass damper. They even took pictures with it, creating a unique and memorable sightseeing experience. After exploring the area with the massive damper, they ascended to the 91st-floor outdoor observatory, where they experienced high-altitude winds, passing clouds, and a vast panoramic view.

The original plan was to return to the National Taiwan University by bus after visiting Taipei 101. However, driven by their adventurous spirit and curiosity about the Xinyi District, the exchange students ultimately voted not to follow the bus back. Instead, they decided to enjoy the beauty of Taipei in the Xinyi District fully. This decision added an extra layer of excitement and exploration to their Culture Night. They wandered through the Taipei night, indulged in local cuisine, and explored the vibrant and modern atmosphere of the city. This unconventional choice enriched their exchange experience and became an unforgettable part of their time in Taiwan.

In conclusion, Taipei 101 is a landmark in Taiwan and a place that offers a rich and diverse sightseeing experience. It is a must-visit destination for visitors who appreciate modern architecture, cultural exchange, and adventure. The Culture Night event allowed exchange students to understand Taiwanese culture and local life better while igniting their passion for exploration. Taipei 101 will forever remain a cherished memory in their exchange student journey.
