Taipei, Sept. 8 (CNA) A unique summer program that allowed campers to spend a night near the top 201609080023t0003of the iconic Taipei 101 building has concluded successfully, after some 800 people participated over a five-week period, the organizers said Thursday.

Every Saturday since July 23, people had been camping for a night on the upper floors of Taiwan’s tallest building, gazing at the stars and city skyline at night and watching the sunrise in the morning, Taipei 101 administrators said.

The organizers arranged for the campers to skygaze on the 91st floor of the building where there is a telescope and to sleep in the observatory on the 89th floor, from which they could also watch the sunrise.

“It was not until I watched the moon (through the telescope), did I discover that it is so big,” said an elementary student who camped in the building with his family on July 23.     [FULL  STORY]
