and i will post more juicy gossip and news about taiwan's gay life.

[sungFFman]

I think the truth is, there's simply not enough forumers who is actually IN taiwan to give us those updates.

Finding news about Taiwan nowaday's pretty hard unless it somehow involves China.

Ok, I'll give you an update on the projects you listed above.


Kaohsiung World Stadium - still working on the foundation and basic support structure

Kaohsiung Arena - structural steel is completed with crews now working on the interior

Yida Fun City (my title not theirs) - work on the hotel and shopping complex is progressing, but the massive observation tower has magically disappeared from recent renderings.

Taipei Gate Twin Towers - MRT Songshan line is under construction but not the main structure of the building (nothing of significance will happen til the bus station moves).

Chiayi National Palace Museum - site planning and landscape prep work (lake)

Taichung Metropolitan Opera House - site planning but no prep work

Nangang Exhibition Hall - exterior completed

Taipei Dome - site planning

Taipei Stadium - foundation under construction

Kaohsiung MRT - red line almost completed - the smart money says it's operational before the presidential election in March

Taipei MRT Expansion - Neihu is slowly progressing, but it'll take an act of god to complete the project before the end of 2009.

The Xinyi Maglev - put on the back burner to die of neglect

Xinyi line - deep hole under Xinyi Rd. Wouldn't be surprised if the workers played cards most of the shift.

MRT circular line - talk but no action

Taoyuan Airport MRT - construction of the Cingpu depot, but nothing in terms of the actual line. If they strated construction today the line wouldn't open til at least 2013.

Nangang TRA/THSRC Station - under construction
* OT - THSRC is now averaging 50,000 passengers a day.

Songshan TRA Station - under construction

Shinkong Hotel Xinyi - nothing

Cathay Hotel Xinyi - nothing

President Hotel Xinyi - level five? structural steel

Lihua Xinyi - just about topped out

it's in taiwan forum somewhere. ever since it's been completed there's been very few postings about it. you know, old news. go to skyscrapercity.com and there's a thread about it too, but also few postings.

[Sean n Taiwan]

Seems to me that there are some relatively interesting developments on Guanyingshan mountain. I will start a thread soon to highlight this huge construction scene.

P.S.
...and it's not industry related!

[mountsac]

most of the skyscraper fanatics in taiwan don't speak english that well, and they're the ones who actually regularly take pics of construction updates. they are active on another forum whose primary language is chinese.

i guess we can start some threads on some of the famous buildings/construction in taiwan and discuss them. they won't be the most updated, but they will keep the forumites active and raise awareness about taiwan beyond taipei 101.
