An indoor observation deck is located on the 89th floor and an outdoor deck sits two floors above.<\/p>\n<p>Taipei 101\u2019s architecture is inspired by traditional Chinese buildings, labeled by some as \u201cOriental Revivalism.\u201d The number \u201c8,\u201d a symbol for prosperity and luck in China, appears prominently in the stacked segments of the building, made to resemble the shoots of a bamboo tree. Ancient coins are affixed to the exterior of the 26th floor and a Feng Shui master was consulted as part of the design process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\n<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nHeight: 1,671 ft (509 m) Location: Taipei, Taiwan Developer: Taipei Financial Center Corporation Architect: C.Y.
