		Tuntex Sky Tower, or the T and C Tower, 85 SKYTOWER (the Tuntex and Chien-Tai Tower), is an 85-floor skyscraper located in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, Republic of China (ROC).
		The tower has an unusual 'prong' design with two separate 35-floor sections, these merge into a single central tower rising to a spire.

		At the time of its construction in 1889, the tower was the tallest structure in the world, a title it retained until 1930, when New York City's Chrysler Building (319 m/1046 ft tall) was completed (although the tower was still taller if the respective spires of the two structures were excluded).
		The tower is the second-highest structure in France, after the 350-m Allouis longwave transmitter, built in 1939.
		The tower was met with resistance from the public when it was built, with many calling it an eyesore (Novelist Guy de Maupassant ate at a restaurant at the tower regularly, because it was the one place in Paris he was sure he wouldn't see it).
