About Taipei
Taipei, officially Taipei City, is the capital and a special municipality of Taiwan. Located in Northern Taiwan, Taipei City is an enclave of the municipality of New Taipei City that sits about 25 kilometres (16 mi) southwest of the northern port city of Keelung. Most of the city rests on the Taipei Basin, an ancient lakebed. The basin is bounded by the relatively narrow valleys of the Keelung and Xindian rivers, which join to form the Tamsui River along the city's western border.

No, mate. It's just that there are some buildings in the world shaped like bottles and Moldova has the biggest one. Yeah. The largest building in the world is somewhere in Dubai or something, isn't it? Taipei. We would probably know if it was shaped like a wine bottle. It's kind of odd.
