After being listed by CNN among the world’s 25 greatest skyscrapers, Taipei 101 has once again been selected in the “49 Life-Changing Trips” feature recently published on CNN Travel.

“The desire to travel and adventure is an inescapable human urge,” CNN believes. After carefully selecting from over 500 attractions, with criteria focused on offering unique experiences or memories, the list of 49 life-changing trips was compiled—and Taipei 101 ranked No. 9.

Even though it is no longer the tallest building in the world and its elevator is no longer the fastest globally, CNN still believes that stepping into the elevator allows you to experience the limits of moving technology, and then arrive at the 89th-floor observation deck away from the hustle and bustle of the city, where you can take in and admire the 360-degree view of Taipei—a truly unmissable choice.

Also on the list are Ferrari World’s roller coaster that accelerates from 0 to 240 km/h in just 4 seconds, the stunning coastal views of Naples, Italy—so beautiful you’d rather have someone else drive so you don’t miss a thing—and the journey from Adelaide to Darwin on Australia’s Greyhound bus, the longest bus trip in the world.
