An-Tai Tower

The An-Tai Tower, also known as the Taiwan Research Institute Building, is a striking skyscraper located in the Tamsui District of New Taipei, Taiwan. Standing at 130 meters tall with 31 floors, it was completed in 2002 and serves as the headquarters for the Taiwan Research Institute. The tower is notable not only for its height but also for its architectural significance in the region. However, it is also remembered for a tragic incident in 2008, when a man committed suicide from its rooftop, drawing significant media attention and public concern due to its association with high-profile offices, including that of a former Taiwanese president. This juxtaposition of modernity and tragedy makes the An-Tai Tower a point of interest for both tourists and researchers exploring Taiwan's contemporary history and urban landscape.
