The Diplomat
Under the motto A Colourful World, the Taipei 101 skyscraper will once again welcome the new year in Taiwan with an impressive display of colour, light and sound and 16,000 fireworks. The Spanish time slot for the broadcast will be tomorrow from 16:45 to 17:15.
The iconic building, which was the world’s tallest skyscraper until 2010, will once again amaze the world with a five-minute spectacle showcasing the country’s diverse culture and beauty through brilliantly coloured fireworks.
It is a show that has become a New Year’s Eve tradition every year, and this time it will use fireworks made in Taiwan, as well as for the first time fireworks from Japan, in an attempt to show the close relationship between the two countries.
First held in 2003, the Taiwanese New Year’s Eve fireworks display is widely broadcast by media around the world due to its colourful and spectacular nature. In 2012, the building’s setting and New Year’s Eve celebration was named by CNN as one of the top 10 places in the world to celebrate the New Year.
