[2011/12/27 Focus Taiwan] Taipei's New Year countdown to be streamed live on YouTube

Taipei, Dec. 27 (CNA) Taipei City's New Year's Eve celebrations and countdown will be streamed live on YouTube this year for the first time, city officials said Tuesday.

The six-hour extravaganza near the iconic Taipei 101 tower Saturday night will be available for online viewing in 150 countries, Taipei City Mayor Hau Lung-bin said.

The presentation will feature digital technology, including 3D special effects, that will create a dazzling display of light and music, said Chao Hsin-ping, commissioner of the Department of Information and Tourism.

"Hopefully the new stage effects, in combination with the Taipei 101 fireworks display, will bring audiences a different experience," she said.

At the show, which has been dubbed "Taipei beats -- let's party," the headliner will be Taiwanese singer and dancer Show Luo. Other acts will include Taiwanese rock band Mayday, which has been part of the event for the past 10 years, and Hong Kong pop group Grasshopper. The party will be hosted by entertainer Patty Hou and the award winning stand-up comedy team Plungon.

Apart from the live stream on YouTube, the countdown celebrations will also be broadcast on TVBS Entertainment Channel, Public Television Service Channel and HitFm radio.

This will be the first time I've watched a new year's celebration live before it's new years in my time zone. Weird but I can't wait to see Show!

We have TVBS on our TV so I hopefully I can watch.
We have to lots to do so maybe I can't.

at least its worldwide to watch the live recording

the performance starts at 9pm in tw right?

UGH!! WHY DO I HAVE TO BE AT WORK WHEN IT AIRS???

@wolf
ooh so there's a repeat?..if there is, then that will be great..coz i might be at work during that time...15 hr. difference =__="

does anyone know what will be the series of artists that will perform? I mean does SHOW will be at the opening or during the countdown or he will be at the last part of it? because he have some other places to go and perform also.. right..??

Happy New Year Everyone!!

omg! i can't believe they have a live streaming for the event! first time i'm going to see show while he's actually performing... hehehe... can't wait! *getting really excited*

Happy new year guys!

Ok so I've tried the links above but it says 'an error has occurred, try again later'

I gather the live streaming mite not be so live after all if it doesn't get fixed... unless it's my connection that's the problem?

@ jhaloveshowluo: I think he's meant to be on from midnite til 1am, when the party stops. There's an article that mentions he's on during that time and he did say it'll be good to be the first person to perform in 2012 or sthg along those lines during a TV interview
