World Welcomes 2016 With Lavish New Year Fireworks (PHOTOS, VIDEOS)


New Year’s Eve celebrations have kicked off with lavish fireworks displays as people around the world usher in 2016. However, some cities remain on high alert in the wake of terror threats.  
Cities around the world have started welcoming in 2016 with fireworks displays and huge parties, in countries such as Japan, Australia, China and New Zealand. In Sydney, top right, a spectacular display was centred around the world famous Harbour Bridge, which was lit up with colour, as revellers brought in the new year. In Hong Kong, bottom right, a flash of colour was sent across Victoria Harbour as the clock struck midnight and 2016 was ushered in. While in Taiwan, the country's largest skyscraper, Tapei 101, saw fireworks cascade down the side to welcome in the New Year. (Image source: mailonline.com)
