Visitor reviews of the last New Year's countdown event at EM District:
"Had so much fun Happy New Year."
"Variety is welcome for the New Year event; have a good time with the exciting atmosphere."
"This is one of the points to welcome the new year. It's fun to watch the fireworks set off in two major locations, but seeing them from underneath a high-rise building doesn't give you the full experience. If you want to see fireworks, I recommend seeing them from the park across the street."
"Come take a walk on New Year's Eve and welcome the new year."
