Shr-Hwa International Tower, Taichung

This is one of Taichung's landmark buildings

Shr-Hwa Int. Tower (or Shihua Int. Tower) is 192m tall and has 47 floors.

It was constructed in 2004.

A side lane near the Shr-Hwa Tower.

A nice restaurant inside. Most of the building is occupied by Hotel One and offices.

Shr-Hwa Tower's vicinity, a park and a square.

There's a dining place on top, on 46th floor. I plan to go up there one day.

This building is also known as Taiwan, China and Thailand Financial Center. I love its shape and color, which reminds me of Taipei 101 a bit. I don't believe in the taller, the better, when it comes to skyscrapers, usually the shape and the symbolism fascinate me. And Shr-Hwa International tower is modern, simple and stylish. So are most parts of Taichung and that's why I love this city and I know I'll return many times.
