Dazzling fireworks countdown @ Taipei 101




Taipei 101 is the iconic the skyscraper in Taiwan’s capital, I heard so much of their amazing fireworks before and finally I got the chance to see it myself. The show was about 6 minutes plus but really spectacular!!!! T.T It made my 2019 New Year Eve the most memorable one in my life. If you stay at Taipei during the New Year Eve, don't miss the chance to watch the magnificent fireworks show in Taipei 101.



Well, the streets are sooooo crowded.  You must get ready for crowds though because hundred thousands of people will be out on that night. But if you want to avoid the crowd lining up in front of Taipei 101, you may consider stay at the 5-stars hotel Grand Hyatt Taipei ( 台北君悦酒店 ). The hotel just located right next to Taipei 101 and has an unobstructed view of Taipei 101.

Another great viewing platform is Elephant Mountain Hiking Trail ( 象山步道 ) which is free and open to all visitors. But the trail can get relatively crowded too. You can  take Taipei MRT ( Xinyi Line ), alight at Xiangshan Station and leave at no. 2 exit. Just ontinue walking alongside the edge of the park, turn left and go straight, You will come across a temple, then you will see the entrance for Xiangshan hiking trail. 


Besides the fireworks, the countdown party feature the on-stage appearance of a lot of celebrities on other side of Taipei 101.




We got a spot in front of Taipei 101 and watched the fireworks bursting from the building. The pictures were blurry as it was raining + plenty of smoke from the fireworks.



Crowds of people heading home after the countdown,  it gets reallyyy crowded at MRT station. Luckily our hotel room just a distance walk from 101 world trade centre =D 

This is my first time seeing such a beautiful firework and I wish this year 2019 will be as dazzling as the fireworks! XOXO
