TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The following is a list of the major New Year’s Eve public fireworks displays that will be taking place throughout Taiwan to ring in 2018.

Northern Taiwan

Taipei

Taipei 101 will present a six-minute fireworks display, the longest in the history of the annual event, which will be further enhanced by a massive light-emitting diode (LED) display. Starting from one minute before midnight, fireworks will be launched from Taipei 101 for a full six minutes (360 seconds), more than two minutes longer than last year’s pyrotechnic display.

This year’s light display at Taipei 101 will be much larger than last year’s as well, with 140,000 LED lights covering the tower’s exterior from the 35th floor and going all the way up to the 90th.

Central Taiwan

Sun Moon Lake

Although Sun Moon Lake has not held a pyrotechnic display on New Year’s Eve for nearly 5 years, because visits by Chinese tourists to the area is down this year, local authorities are organizing a music performance and an 8-minute fireworks display to stimulate tourism. The New Year’s Eve fireworks display can be best viewed from Wenwu Temple (文武廟), the Shuishe Plum Lotus Garden (水社荷梅園), and the Sun Moon Lake Ropeway Station (日月潭纜車站).     [FULL  STORY]
