>>11136175Horse shit. i lived in Taipei for years. Downtown tokyo has way more tall buildings than Taipei.
Before Taipei 101 the tallest building was the Mitsukoshi Building and it wasn't even 50 floor tall.
Shit, the picture of Taipei you're showing is focused on only a couple blocks. When I first moved there I lived in the Hyatt, that U-shaped building right above that squatty pyramid looking building (It's a big ass trade center).
The thing with Taiwan, even more than Japan, is that most of the cities are super dense because there's literally nowhere else to build except in river valleys and right at the coast.
The scale between those two pictures is fucked.
