The Taipei New Year's Eve Party (Chinese: 台北最High新年城; pinyin: táiběi zuì High xīnnián chéng) is a New Year's Eve celebration that takes place in Taipei, Taiwan.[1] Visitors gather at the Taipei City Hall and have a clear view of Taipei 101, which is surrounded by fireworks at midnight.[2] The first Taipei New Year's Eve party was on 31 December 2003.
Decorations are put up starting in early December. During the celebration on December 31, music artists from around the world put on live performances throughout the day.[3]
In December 1994 Chen Shui-bian announced the first government-hosted New Year's Eve Party in Taipei.[4] Taipei 101 was first used as the center of a countdown show during the 2003-2004 new year. The countdown show aimed to challenge the popularity of the New York Times Square Ball. Although Taipei 101 was still under construction during this time, they did a light show.[5]
