Taipei 101 traditionally stages fireworks at midnight on New Year’s Eve.
Taipei 101 is a landmark skyscraper in Taiwan’s Xinyi District. Its annual countdown display sends fireworks from the building’s exterior, creating a vertical outline of light that can be seen across Taipei. The event is accompanied by music, lighting, and large public gatherings around the city.
The tower opened in 2004 and was officially the world’s tallest building until Dubai’s Burj Khalifa surpassed it in 2010. Its name refers to the 101 floors above ground, and its design combines modern engineering with visual references to Asian architectural forms.
Taipei 101 is sometimes confused with the Taipei World Trade Center, which is nearby in the same district. The World Trade Center may be part of the event area, but the fireworks are identified with Taipei 101 itself. Display details can change from year to year, including duration and launch pattern.
