Taiwan - Sunrise Over Tachih Bridge in Taipei

    Taipei (台北) is the largest city in Taiwan. It is situated on the Danshui River, almost at the northern tip of the island, about 25 km southwest of Keelung, its port on the Pacific Ocean. Taipei, the capital city, has a long established reputation as a gourmet's paradise, boasting cuisine from every region of China. It is also home to new boutique hotels and trendy bars that have sprung up in a flurry of construction culminating in the opening of the 'world's tallest building', Taipei 101 (now overtaken by Burj Dubai). The constructing of parks and much-needed infrastructure is also underway. Perhaps a result of this growth, Taipei's cultural scene has blossomed giving local sculpture, art and architecture a distinctly Taiwanese edge.

    This photo captures sunrise over Taipei and Tachih Bridge, which runs across Keelung River and connects Sungshan and Tachih, it costed NT$2 billion to build.
