Did you know that a long time ago only kings and very rich people had chairs? At that time, ordinary people had to sit on stools or on the ground. If you're sitting in a chair right now, think of yourself as a king!
But even a king couldn't sit in this chair. Only a giant would be big enough for a chair this tall. It is more than 26m high, which means that it is the biggest chair in the world. You can get to the top, but you have to walk up a lot of stairs to get there.
But this isn't just a chair; it is a museum too. If you walk up the stairs, you can go inside the chair where there is a museum about wood. You might not be able to sit in this chair, but at least you can learn something from it! (kayleen hartman, Taipei Times)
