Taipei 101’s Rooftop Observation Deck Opens to the Public for the First Time臺北101頂樓觀景臺首次對外開放

【摘要2019.11.10.蘋果】

Each day, tourists flock to the 89th floor observation deck at the top of Taipei 101 to get a bird’s-eye view of the city and its nearby mountains. However, you can’t truly say you’ve been to the top of Taipei 101 unless you go up to the deck on the skyscraper’s roof.

 This is an experience that not many have had, as the top deck has been set aside for VIP guests, but it won’t remain this way. In mid-June, it was announced that the top observation deck would soon open to visitors for the first time in the building’s 15-year history. The tiny platform has only enough space for 12 people to safely stand at a time. Therefore, each day only three groups of 12 will be allowed on the roof for up to 40 minutes.

每一天，遊客擁向臺北 101 頂層的八十九層觀景臺鳥瞰臺北及其周圍的群山。但是，除非你上去過這個摩天大樓屋頂的平臺上，否則你無法真正說自己已經登過臺北 101 的頂端。

這是一種沒有多少人經歷過的體驗，因為頂層平臺已經為貴賓預留了，但它不會一直保持這種狀態。六月中旬時，已宣布頂樓觀景臺不久將在這座建築的十五年歷史中首次對遊客開放。這個小平臺一次只能容納十二個人可以安全站立的空間。所以，每天只有以十二人為單位的三組人會被允許待在屋頂上長達四十分鐘。
