Making wishes for the coming year together under the bright fireworks is believed to be the most anticipated way for many people to celebrate the New Year. However, there are not many places in mainland China that have fireworks shows. However, there are some of the most famous fireworks shows in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. If you really enjoy these three places, you might as well go there.
1. Hong Kong’s “Kaleidoscope of Starry Sky”
It has become a practice for Hong Kong to set off fireworks in Victoria Harbor every year. On New Year’s Eve, tens of thousands of people watch the fireworks, and the sky is filled with stars. People from all over the world gathered at Victoria Harbor to enjoy the fireworks show and cheer for the New Year.
If you want to capture the beautiful moments of these fireworks blooming, remember to get a good location.

The buildings along the coast of Hong Kong Island will set off meteor fireworks every 15 minutes. Under the dazzling fireworks, make wishes for the coming year together. At the moment of midnight, hundreds of fireworks will be set off over Victoria Harbor, and words will appear on the exterior walls of large buildings. The New Year's Eve party full of sound and light continued after midnight, and everyone cheered enthusiastically.
The fireworks used in the fireworks display are all the latest Italian fireworks "Starry Sky Kaleidoscope". The renderings have a strong visual effect. Within one minute of the finale of the display, as many as 45 fireworks with different patterns will bloom one after another, filling the sky. I believe the sea of ??fireworks in Xinghuo is worth waiting for.

3. Taiwan 101 Building Fireworks "Wild Discharge"
This year's New Year's Eve party is themed "Wild Discharge" and will incorporate elements of "e-sports" and "electronic music". The government We are also trying hard to catch up with young fashion trends! But I quite appreciate it.
In mid-December, Taipei 101 announced the building’s New Year’s Eve fireworks renderings. The New Year’s fireworks will be longer than in previous years, with a total length of 360 seconds. This is already the longest fireworks show in history! Compared with last year, A full 60 seconds longer.
This planning has 9 major themes, namely "night market, famous food", "all walks of life", "geographic environment", "medical treatment, technology", "technology, OEM", "fruit" Kingdom”, “Freedom, Democracy”, “Faith, Strength”, “Diversity and Inclusion”.
According to reports, pyrotechnics patterns including various industries, agriculture, industry and commerce, night market gourmet chicken steak, pearl milk tea, etc. will be displayed on the 101 fireworks.
Pay attention to the New Year’s Eve fireworks soundtrack. The soundtrack was written by film soundtrack producer Lin Qiang. It was composed by the Golden Melody Award for Best Duo Group, the Best Aboriginal Album Award for Ah Bang, and the Hope Children’s Choir. Fireworks display singing.
Besides the fireworks, I believe that what everyone is most concerned about is the live party performance. You will also be able to meet well-known Taiwanese stars when you are there!
The stars at the 101 Building party are all artists and singers who have achieved relatively good development results in that year, which can be regarded as a showcase of the achievements of the entertainment industry!
