Which New Year's Eve fireworks display has taken place at Taipei 101 in Taiwan?

The story behind the answer

The fireworks display held at Taipei 101 is called the Taipei 101 New Year's Eve fireworks display.

Taipei 101, a supertall skyscraper in Taipei, Taiwan, launches fireworks from its exterior during the New Year countdown. The spectacle is paired with animated LED lighting on the building’s facade, turning the tower itself into part of the show. It is one of Taiwan’s most internationally recognizable New Year celebrations.

The first fireworks display from Taipei 101 took place for the 2005 New Year celebration, marking the beginning of 2005. The tower’s height and distinctive stacked design make it visible across much of the Taipei basin, although viewing conditions depend on weather and crowd location.

Taipei 101 was officially opened in 2004 and held the title of the world’s tallest building until 2010, when Dubai’s Burj Khalifa surpassed it. The fireworks tradition is therefore connected to both a civic celebration and a landmark of modern engineering.
