Taiwan Urban Pictures
 

Hey guys, originally I was going to post these pictures on to the Gallery section. It's not til later, I realise each member only have 2M photo storage space. So... here I am using the forum hyperlink method to share with you all some of the wonderful photos I came across on. http://www.flytiger.com.tw/.

Taichung Library - Open in 2007 costs around 100 million Aussie dollars or 78 million US dollars to build.

Excellent pictures! I am so proud of Kaohsiung ^__^

Thanks for sharing! :nuts:

The China Steel building is quite impressive - Taiwan needs more glass curtain wall.

Chiayi City Hall
 

Cool! Chiayi City Hall is pretty close by my house. As a matter of fact, this is south building. North building is still underconstruction and will be completed in a year or two. A skywalk will link the two mega buildings once completed!

What's the black thing in the picture?? :???:

I really think kaohsiung has the best skyline in taiwan.
anyway, just out of curiosity, is kaohisung's pollution problem as bad as taipei? bcz from the pics it seems the pollution isn't that bad.

From my experience Kaohsiung's pollution is on another level compared to Taipei's. Chalk it up to the massive amount of industry located in and around the city. Those pictures of Kaohsiung were no doubt taken between April-June, the air quality is the best at that time. Most of the time Kaohsiung's air is embarrassingly bad.

Yeap...my first impression when I first went to Kaohsiung was the "Terminator movie style" heavy industry factories. It was very cool, but I can imagine how ppl living around the city suffer from that. Luckily, Kaohsiung is by the sea. On the other hand, Taipei's populated area is in the basin. The air pollution mainly from the cars and scooters is hard to disperse.

It is worse that sometimes sandstorm from Inner-Mongolia can reach Taiwan!
That's why sometimes I like Typhoons coming to Taiwan. They can really wash the smog away for a while.

i saw an article sometime ago, highlighting the fact that 70% of the taiwan's air pollutions are actually from the mainland, carried over by the south-east wind.

anyway some more urban pictures i found on dcview.com
