Sun-Yat Sun Memorial Hall
The Sun-Yat Sun Memorial Hall is a very popular spot to see the fireworks due to it’s large open expanse – and having probably the best and most uninhibited view of Taipei 101 anywhere in the city. Many photographers will arrive here in the morning of New Year’s Eve to get prime position on the steps of the hall. Even though it’s a huge area, it does become very busy as the night draws on.
Xinyi Shopping District
The shopping district, north of Taipei 101, is where most people will go to watch the Fireworks. This vast area does get extremely crowded, so don’t expect to be able to move around much. There are a lack of convenience stores in the area, but extra stalls and mobile units selling snacks and drinks are found around the district. The view of the fireworks is largely dependent on where you are in the district, as there are malls obstructing the view in some places. Many people will choose to se...
City Hall
The City Hall, situated close to the Sun-Yat Sun Memorial Hall and just west of the shopping district, is where many of the younger folk of Taipei choose to see the fireworks. This is because the city council lays on a free New Year’s Eve Party just in front of the hall featuring Taiwanese singers. Consequently, this area gets very busy, but the view of Taipei 101 is very good. The party here starts at 18:30 and runs until 01:00.
Taipei 101 Observation Deck
It is possible to view the fireworks from inside the Taipei 101 building itself. A unique experience, it opens at 21:30, and includes DJs, food and alcoholic drinks. Tickets are still available on Klook for the 2020/21 event, and cost NT$1,500 each.
Zhangman Tap Bistro
Zhangman Tap Bistro is located on the uppermost floor of the Breeze Songgao mall in the shopping district. It has a large open rooftop area that has a decent view of Taipei 101, although the bottom half is obstructed by a mall. Since most of the fireworks are set off from the higher floors, this isn’t too much of an issue. This is a great spot is you want to enjoy a few craft ales while watching the fireworks. I’m not sure if you need to book ahead to guarantee a place here.
Frank Taipei
Frank’s nightclub, located on top of the ATT for Fun mall, has a large open rooftop area which is ideal for watching the fireworks. There is a dress-code here, and tickets for the NYE event are often snapped up early. I believe there are still a handful left (at time of writing), but if you miss these you could always just go to the NYE party which begins after the fireworks have ended. Call +886 909 332 333 to ask about availability.
Elephant Mountain
Undoubtedly the best spot to view the fireworks from just outside the city, Elephant Mountain offers a great view of Taipei 101 from a distance. People will trek up the mountain in the early morning on NYE to get a good view, and many more will come throughout the day, meaning that getting a good viewing position here is certainly not guaranteed.
Tiger Mountain
Although it’s further away with a lower elevation than Elephant Mountain, Tiger Mountain is still a good choice to view the fireworks from outside the city. You will find it less busy here than Elephant Mountain, yet the view of Taipei 101 is still great.
Maokong
The Maokong Gondola, which is a fantastic cable car ride that terminates in Maokong, will stay open until 02:00 on January 1st. If you don’t mind seeing the fireworks from a distance, then you can enjoy a slightly less chaotic NYE whilst sipping on a warming brew in one of the many teahouses in Maokong.
The MRT opens throughout night on NYE, but will become extremely busy, especially after the fireworks have ended. Both the City Hall and Taipei 101 MRT stations will be closed, and all roads around the district will be closed for vehicles. For full details on public transport and traffic on NYE, click this link. If possible, I would recommend stayi...
I would recommend finding a good spot at least 3 hours before midnight. Some convenience stores will remove the glass panels from their shop front to make it easier for people to enter and leave. You’ll find many stalls selling flashing lights, food, and beer around the district.
