[VIDEO] Taipei New Year’s Eve fireworks This year's Taipei 101 display shot approximately 16,000 fireworks and ran for 300 seconds, in combination with animations on the building's giant T-Pad wall, which is made up of 140,000 LED bulbs and covers the exterior from the 35th to the 90th floors. The animations featured rare and protected species in Taiwan such as the leopard cat, the Formosan black bear, the mikado pheasant and the green sea turtle, along with themes such as "hope," "nature," "moving forward" and "bright future." http://focustaiwan.tw/news/asoc/202001015001.aspx
