Yeah, that is a burning Building!!!!! GReat pics.

Happy new year for you as well standord!!!

Nice pictures. Two questions though:

1) Did the 10,000,000 NTD cost include washing all the windows?

2) Why do I suddenly have an urge to by a 1080p HDTV?

with the smoke, the people in 101 building will be asphyxiate.
haha~
but I have to say it's gorgeous!

the mass dampner... pretty cool that its open to the public

Incredible. Even though some video clips (check YouTube) of a 100 plus story tower exploding in fire may be a little disconcerting, the spectacle must truly have been quite a signt to experience in person.

Wow what a spectacle, one year I will go to Taipei to bring in the new year. That's the largest firework display I think I've ever seen.

Beautiful !
The event was shown on French TV.

That's so hot! LOVE Taipei 101 =P

I think it was a similar thread, last year...
Even more impressing this year though. :D

thats impressive looking for sure. maybe one day i'll see it in person

LOVE that fireworks display, freaking awesome.
Count me in as another who wants to see it live.

Too bad nothing like that will happen in the USA since the fire dept. here thinks that's literally impossible without setting the building on fire, even though it's done in other countries like Taiwan and Hong Kong every year.

What a pity. But great show for Taipei!

I liked much. Since in Rio the fireworks are not in buildings anymore, lost I little bit the impression, for example cascade in Hotel Meridien. It looks for me great. Unfortunatly in television none was said. The most beautiful one seems to be already in Sydney. Unfortunatly I had never been in such places...:( :cool: :)

Wow!

I guess this is the best place in the world to celebrate the new year since the taipei 101 is so iconic! Would have been great if Burj Dubai could have something like this when finished!

Why do Asian countries celebrate New Years Eve?... I guess it's good that Christianity has taken roots way over in East Asia. :tup:

Time Square, New York is still the best.

I swear they built this building for this purpose. Office space was an after thought.

Oh my god!!!!

Great pics of tallest building of Asia!!!!

Congratulations!
