Taipei - MegaCities - National Geographic Documentary

Over a hundred people packed the Observatory on the 91st floor of Taipei 101 for the Premier Party of National Geographic's Megacities-Taipei show yesterday.

The hour-long documentary, explores the past, present and future of Taiwan's capital.

"I am proud to be the spokesperson of Megacities-Taipei," said American-born Taiwanese singer, song writer and actor Wang Leehom, 31, star and co-host of the premier. "The show will allow the world to witness the magnificence of Taipei."

Taipei 101 served as more than just a venue for the premier; it is also Megacities-Taipei's main focus. As the tallest completed building in the world, Taipei 101 remains a symbol of Taipei's economic and technological success.

This documentary interviews several personnel key to Taipei 101's operations, including a window-washer, the chief elevator engineer, the building manager and Taipei 101's architect.

The documentary also takes viewers on a tour of the Lungmen Nuclear Power Plant construction. It is the first time a camera crew has been allowed to film at the site. When it is completed, Taiwan's fourth nuclear power plant is expected to provide up to 6 percent of the island's electrical power.

Megacities also covers the Keelung seaport, the lifeline of Taipei's economy. Without a major raw material lode, Taiwan is dependent on foreign raw materials in order to sustain a flourishing economy, according to the documentary.

Taipei is the ninth city featured by National Geographic's Megacities, following New York, London, Paris, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Las Vegas, Mexico City and Sao Paulo.

Megacities-Taipei is a collaboration of National Geographic and Taiwan's Government Information Office and is filmed in High Definition.
