Celebrate Non-Stop at Taipei’s Exciting Festivals

As New Year’s Eve arrives, don’t miss the fireworks show at Taipei 101, the most eagerly anticipated of all the year’s events. Stay in a hotel near the Xinyi District, and you can enjoy an evening of wining and dining against a sky of dazzling fireworks. If you are game, why just watch when you can directly participate in the New Year’s Eve celebration? Take to the streets amongst the locals in your finery and ring in the new year together.
