List of tallest buildings in Taiwan
This list of skyscrapers in Taiwan ranks skyscrapers in Taiwan by height. The tallest building in Taiwan is currently the 101–story Taipei 101, which rises and was completed in 2004. It was officially classified as the world's tallest from 2004 to 2010. Now, it is still the tallest building in Taiwan, Asia's 6th tallest building, and the world's 9th tallest building. There are currently six buildings over 200m under construction in Taiwan, including the Taipei Twin Tower 1, which is under planning and will reach, and the Taipei Sky Tower, which is under construction in Taipei and will reach.
Unlike other Asian countries with numerous skyscrapers exceeding 400 meters in height, Taiwan's skyscrapers are, on average, relatively shorter. This is because construction is difficult since Taiwan's geographical position is, similar to Japan, located very close to the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Philipine Plate, thus it is prone to many earthquakes. Therefore, all buildings above 50 metres must be as earthquake-proof as possible and adhere to numerous strict structural standards set by the government to ensure safety.
