Also known as "Living Mall" 京華城 it has a total floor space of 204,190 square meters. Built in 2001, the structure is a complex of two buildings - an L-shaped building which contains specialty boutiques connected to a sphere which contains the Mira Department Store. The complex consists of 12 above-ground stories and 7 underground levels. The mall is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This place is huge, 11 floors to be exact. Too bad I didn't have a chance to explore every floor because I was exhausted half way through the day. Where I live we drive everywhere and did little walking but Taipei is like New York City and I just wasn't used to the walking.
The mall was touted as the world's first truly 24 hour mall and Asia's first "city within a city" complex. The sphere, considered to be Core Pacific's most dominant and visible feature, is 11 stories tall and made of granite imported from Finland, while the L-shaped portion is made of granite from Spain.
