The Taipei City Hall Bus Station (市府轉運站) is a recently built high-rise building in Taipei's modern center Xinyi. With 150m above the sea level and 31 floors it's almost as tall as the nearby 154m tall President International Tower. The lower floors house a big bus station and the MRT station with the same name, while the upper floors are reserved for a shopping mall and a hotel. Personally this building is not a great piece of modern architecture like the building next to it, but it somehow fits well into the area. Although it's quite tall, it's not so dominant like some other buildings in Xinyi. Maybe that's due to the lower part, which is unusually large. It is an interesting building, but not something I would advertise in a tourist brochure.
