Rising majestically above the urban landscape of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, this architectural marvel, completed in 1997, stands at a striking 378 metres. Known for its unique shape, which resembles the character '高' (meaning 'tall'), the tower's innovative split design was influenced by the shifting tectonic plates below. Once the tallest building in Taiwan and home to the glitzy Splendor Hotel, it offers panoramic views of the bustling harbour city below. Amid its modernity, 85 Sky Tower also nods humbly to tradition, with its silhouette subtly alluding to traditional Chinese pagodas.
