Taiwan is renown for military establishments and parades, memorials & legacy to Chiang Kai Shek who ruled the country for many years after he fled from mainland China in 1949. He lost the long running civil war to Mao Ze-dong's Communist Party.
In recent years the country has undergone massive construction including erection of the iconic 101 Tower which until 2009 was the world's tallest building. In December 2009 it lost out to Dubai's Burg-al-Dubai.
