As 2015 draws to a close, the most highly anticipated Taipei 101 New Year’s Eve fireworks show, themed “Nature is Future” this year, will launch over 30,000 fireworks for a spectacular 238-second display — the longest in its history. If you’ve never witnessed the Taipei 101 fireworks before, now is your chance to catch them. Recently, reports from Taipei 101 suggested that due to the economic downturn and difficulty securing sponsors, this year might be the last time the iconic Taipei 101 New Year’s Eve fireworks are held.

Taiwan’s most iconic Taipei 101 New Year’s Eve fireworks show has been held for 11 consecutive years, with each year featuring a creatively stunning performance. This year, an unprecedented 30,000 fireworks were set off to create the longest show in its history. However, as the event continues year after year, both the cost of the fireworks and the pressure to innovate have gradually increased. Coupled with the impact of the economic downturn, the difficulty of finding suitable sponsors, and concerns over the environmental impact of the fireworks, the future of the show is uncertain.
