Building 63, Yeouido, Seoul

The famous landmark skyscraper of Seoul

Located on the Yeouido island in the middle of Seoul, Building 63 (63 빌딩) is one of the most famous high-rise buildings in Seoul and Korea. It's 249m high and was completed in 1985, being one of the tallest buildings in the world at that time. The name comes from the 63 floors, 60 above and 3 below the ground. I like the design of this building and the color of the facade, the golden windows glow in the sun, it's just amazing (as seen on this photo). Enjoy two hi-def photos I made during my first Seoul adventure.

Golden, slim and tall: Building 63.

One of Seoul's and South Korea's landmark buildings.

Taichung Station 台中車站

My images of Taichung's train station 台中火車站

I like Taichung's Railway Station (台中車站) a lot, because it has such a special feel to it. It was built in 1905. It's a mix of Japanese influences with Renaissance-styled red bricks (source). Although Taichung has about 1 million inhabitants, the rail station seems pretty small. It only has 3 platforms and you've seen the whole building and everything around it in about 5 minutes. Nevertheless, it's charming and lovely building. At least you can't get lost here. And it really has a special ambiance, it makes you feel as if you were in Taichung 100 years ago (you just have to look past the electronic signboards). This is probably one of the best pieces of early 20th century architecture in Taichung, if not Taiwan. The train station looks similar to the one in Hsinchu.

See some of my photos of Taichung's main railway station:

The outside part.

A detail on the small tower. I wonder where is the clock.

A big plaza in front of the station. Much more space here than in Hsinchu.

Inside the building, where tickets are sold.

The waiting area, a big hall. It looks nicer than the one in Hsinchu.

Right outside the station.
Golden Plaza: Currently (2010) the 6th tallest building in Taiwan, 178m at the top.

Train leaving.

People patiently waiting for their train. Taiwanese are very well organized.
