The Place to Be on New Year’s Eve
精選跨年好去處
12/31
When cities throw New Year’s Eve parties, they are given a chance to market why they are such great places to live or visit. These big events allow cities to show off their best qualities in an atmosphere of fun and celebration.
Some world cities act as magnets for partygoers, and New Year’s Eve 2012 will be no different from past years when it comes to attracting people. Whether it is the landscape, the history, or other special features, all cities try to look their best.
For example, Prague in the Czech Republic showcases its beautiful castles and medieval architecture. Beautiful views of fireworks lighting the sky above the yellow walls of Prague Castle and reflecting in the river let the city flaunt its Eastern European charm. Singapore, on the other hand, boasts modern glass skyscrapers that are lit up from the inside with many different colored lights. This is the background for fireworks, with the building lights and the brightly colored bursts mirrored in this city-state’s harbor.
No matter where you celebrate New Year’s Eve, try to look for the things that make your location special. Be amazed by the lights and sounds, and have a wonderful time saying good-bye to the old and hello to the new.

The Place to Be on New Year’s Eve
精選跨年好去處
各大城市舉辦跨年派對時，正是它們宣傳本身為何是極佳的居住城市和旅遊去處的好機會。這些大型活動讓各個城市得以在歡慶的氛圍下展現其最棒的特質。
某些國際大城猶如磁鐵般吸引派對常客，而提到吸引人潮，二○一二年的跨年夜也不會與以往不同。不論是在自然景色、歷史或其他特色上，所有城市都試圖展現自己最好的一面。
譬如捷克的布拉格主打美麗的城堡與中世紀的建築。煙火照亮布拉格城堡黃色石牆的上空，以及映照在水面上的絢麗景緻讓布拉格得以充分展現其東歐魅力。另一方面，新加坡則擁有引以為傲的現代化玻璃高樓大廈，從大樓內部點亮許多不同顏色的燈光。這是襯托煙火的背景，大樓的燈光和色彩艷麗的煙火燃放映照在這個城邦的海港上。
無論你在何處慶祝跨年，試著尋找你所在地方的特別之處吧。感受那絕佳的聲光震撼，並且盡情狂歡來送舊迎新吧。
