Taipei is undeniably known for its amazing nightlife, with diverse options of pubs and nightclubs to suit every party goer. Taipei was even ranked higher than New York City, London, and Paris for the best place to countdown into 2015 this year. But with so many options, how do you know what spot to hit up this Wednesday night?
Here’s everything you need to know about what Taipei has planned for welcoming the new year!
Fireworks
As usual, fireworks will be set off from Taipei 101. The building management made a handy list of places that are ideal to see the fireworks, including riverside parks and the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. Check out the list here.
This year’s fireworks will be 218 seconds long, with 23,000 individual rounds, with a budget of NT$38 million. (TRIVIA!)
The weather forecast for the night of New Year’s Eve is 10-13 degrees Celsius. Although it’s not expected to rain, don’t forget to bundle up against the cold!
