Taipei 101 is the tallest Building in Taiwan and was the tallest in the world from 2004 to 2010.
It is now the 4th tallest.
There is a 660-tonne (728-short-ton) tuned mass damper that stabilizes the tower against movements caused by high winds. The damper can reduce up to 40 percent of the tower's movements. The observatories are located in the 91st and 89th floors.
It was perfectly still when I got to see it. It is so large that it is hard to imagine that it moves like this.
