History

After its completion in April 1992, the Asia-Pacific Financial Plaza became the tallest building in Taiwan surpassing the 143.4 meters high Tuntex Tower in Taipei. However, it only kept this title for 3 months when the Chang-Gu World Trade Center in Kaohsiung was completed on 9 July 1992.[2][3]
