This year, Taipei, with its famous Taipei 101 New Year’s Eve Countdown, followed in fourth, making sure the entire top four is unchanged compared to the festivities last year. Osaka, known for its lively street parties and traditional bell-ringing ceremonies, rose from 8^th to 5^th and replaced Pattaya in the top five. Thailand’s popular beach destination came in 7^th.
