Taipei 101 was presenting a 288-second-long firework display featuring 12 programs of festive themes, including a "Spiraling Dragon of Auspiciousness," in which fireworks were to spiral around the building to the top, creating an image of a golden dragon.
The fireworks at Taipei 101 were put together by international explosives artist Cai Guoqiang (蔡國強) to celebrate the Republic of China's centenary. The show started at the Dajia Riverside Park and was scheduled to continue through 10 buildings in Xinyi District, ending with the firework display at Taipei 101 following the countdown to the New Year.
The words "100 ROC" were to be displayed on the top of the building at the end of the display.
Happy Birthday, Taiwan. My lovely Taiwan!!
