Dazzling Firework Displays Around the World

Taipei 101 – Taiwan
New Year’s Eve is the most popular time for fireworks displays, and one of the world’s most innovative displays is put on every year at the Taipei 101 tower in Taipei, Taiwan. Last year’s display lasted for six minutes and featured over 140,000 LEDs which were affixed to the tower’s exterior and supplemented the fireworks with a spectacular light show.
Every year, the display starts at one minute to midnight, and is seen by millions of viewers — it’s a favorite of locals and tourists alike. The Taipei 101 tower is so tall that there are plenty of places throughout the city that will give you an excellent view of the fireworks.
