By livelifeandlove on April 26, 2023

The world renowned Petronas Twin Towers, one of the Malaysia’s most famous icons located at the heart of KLCC. The 88th-storey mega tall held the title as the tallest buildings in the world until 2004, it was surpassed by the next mega structure, the Taipei 101. The skybridge on the 41st floor provides breathtaking views of the city and an excellent viewing platform below from its altitude of 4519 meters (1,483 feet).

The Petronas Twin Towers also called ‘Menara Berkembar Petronas’ (Malay) internationally recognized as the symbol of Kuala Lumpur remained the tallest building in Malaysia until 2019 surpassed by the ‘Exchange 106’. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which is 828 meters tall and has been designated a Mega tall since 2010, is now the highest structure in the world.

With a steel and glass façade typical of the future and a classically decorated interior.

Kuala Lumpur is a diverse and vibrant metropolis that is home to several internationally recognized landmarks. Travel to Malaysia and enjoy a wide variety of exciting experiences.

I couldn’t pay a visit to my fellow bloggers and friends while I was there due to the rainy weather, which prevented me from getting in touch with them. I’m going to miss my friends there, but I promise to come back and the first thing I’m going to do is visit all of them once I get there.

Soon to be posted on the blog will be descriptions of exciting new adventures, stunning new images, and recollections of past ones in Malaysia.

Thank you for reading my blog!

Taipei 101

By livelifeandlove on June 22, 2016

Incredible structures to present the works of art, architecture, and engineering, it is the tower that symbolizes the city,the iconic Taipei 101 is a beautiful skyscraper with a total height record of 508 meters that ranks the world’s tallest building from 2004-2010. It is also the world’s tallest floor at 438 meters and the world’s tallest roof at 448 meters. Observatory elevators holds the Guinness world Records as the World’s fastest passenger elevator. Taipei 101 mall attracts millions of tourist every year.

I have come to appreciate everything here, all the incredible structures. Indeed, the consistent effort to present the works of art and engineering which is more technically and technologically advanced. We’ve seen the big progress and development globally.

Humans aim high attracting international attention for the title “World’s tallest building” to gain prestige and recognition. My feelings widened with excitement along great things. In this century which is global in perspective, It’s getting more updated, fast growing and competition is still going on, more tall buildings and great structural forms are getting better and taller. If you remember the Great Pyramid of Egypt at Giza holds the longest for 3,500 years until the next construction of another. World title started from tall,taller to the tallest. Presently holding the title, Burj Khalifa of Dubai as the ‘’World’s tallest skyscraper.’’ More skyscrapers has been and would be completed in the coming years to come..According to my reference, Jeddah Tower (167 Floors) will be the future next is still under construction so with the Merdeka PNB 118 of Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia (118 Floors)is now under construction, Dubai One (with 161 Floors) Is it practical to do this kind of expensive construction? Is it fruitful or wasteful?

Taipei 101, the irregular bamboo shaped building ranks #8 as as one of tallest building in the world as of 2016.
