The long-standing ceremony of lighting a Christmas or New Year tree in different cities of the world attracts millions of people who steadfastly withstand the cold in order to witness a small holiday miracle.
We also want to arrange a miracle for our readers and share with you the most amazing and beautiful Christmas trees in the world.
10. The most lighted tree in the world, Osaka, Japan
You do not need to wait until sakura blossoms in Japan with its magical colors. To do this, there is a six-year record holder for the Guinness Book of Records in the section "The largest number of lights on an artificial Christmas tree." Their number reaches 550,000 pieces.
It is not surprising that numerous tourists flock to see such a spectacular sight. Surely this year the Japanese tree will become not only the most illuminated, but also one of the most glamorous, thanks to the abundance of bows and colorful balloons.
9. Glass Christmas tree, Taipei, Taiwan
From the country of the Rising Sun, we will be transported to another island state, where they know a lot about the most beautiful Christmas trees.
Located in front of Taipei City Hall, a huge 36-meter LED building is the central element that helps turn the entire territory into the so-called Christmas Square.
Christmas is not a recognized public holiday in Taiwan, but this does not prevent its citizens from indulging in festive fun.
8. Floating Christmas tree, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The Brazilian metropolis is famous not only for its colorful carnivals, but also for the most unusual Christmas tree floating on a barge in the lagoon of Rodrigo de Freitas. It makes a spectacular impression on the background of a dazzling firework show. And numerous microlight bulbs are beautifully reflected in the waters of the South American lagoon.
7. Murano glass Christmas tree, Venice, Italy
Continuing the ancient tradition, the island of Murano creates elegant and beautiful glassware. But the fact that the tree got into their number is just a miracle. Of course, Christmas is struck off the weekend when glassblowers are set to work.
Fortunately, the winds in this part of Venice are not very strong, so an elegant but fragile tree will not collapse to the ground, destroying all its beauty in an instant.
6. New Year tree, Vilnius, Lithuania
A metal structure 27 meters high, consisting of about 6,000 branches and more than five kilometers of lighting, shines in the center of the Vilnius Old Town and is visible to everyone who flies over the capital of Lithuania.
Located on Cathedral Square, a steel beauty is lit by many lights and decorated with hundreds of cute Christmas toys. The strings of garlands depart from it, under which everyone can walk, feeling like they are enveloped in a “veil” of festive lights.
Various publications called the Christmas tree in Vilnius the most beautiful in Europe, and the American tourist publication Conde Nast Travaller even included it in the list of the most beautiful Christmas trees in the world.
5. Christmas tree, Gubbio, Italy
Few things can make a winter holiday feel better than a mountain-sized Christmas tree made of hundreds of real living trees. In the Italian city of Gubbio, individual Christmas trees growing on the slopes of Mount Ingino are decorated with beautiful illumination by Christmas and New Year to create a stunning image of a 600-meter Christmas tree that spans the entire mountain from the base to the top.
This is perhaps the largest Christmas tree in the world, and every year it is decorated with a new noticeable figure. In 2017, it was visible even from space.
4. City tree West Palm Beach, Florida, USA
“The wealthier, the happier,” Florida residents could say if they asked about such a strange choice of material for the Christmas tree.
Starting in November, sand to create one of the strangest Christmas trees in the world is delivered by trucks to the West Palm Beach promenade, where sculptors begin to turn a massive pile into a 10-meter Christmas tree.
West Palm Beach is the only city in the world that boasts a 700-ton sandy New Year tree. It is illuminated by lights, and in the evenings throughout the holiday season, music shows are held near the sandy Christmas tree.
3. Christmas tree, Mexico City, Mexico
Christmas in Mexico begins with the installation of a giant Christmas tree on Constitution Square - the largest in Latin America. Nearby is the Cathedral, and two such different, but equally majestic buildings form an excellent duet.
In recent years, the spectacle of a beautifully decorated huge Christmas tree has been complemented by the opening of a nearby ice rink and even light and music shows.
2. Christmas tree at the Emirate Palace Hotel, Abu Dhabi, UAE
If you happen to lose the Christmas tree decoration - this is not scary. But if any decoration was lost from the Christmas tree at the five-star Emirates Palace Hotel, then whoever was responsible for this, he (or she) could be in prison.
The fact is that the 12-meter miracle tree, installed in 2010 and in 2016 in the hotel lobby, was decorated with jewelry (beads, tiaras, rings, pendants, etc.) from famous world brands and precious stones worth over 11 million dollars. Thus, it can be safely called the most expensive Christmas and New Year tree in the world.
I must say that chic New Year trees are installed annually in almost all hotels in the UAE.
1. New Year tree, Moscow, Russia
The most beautiful Christmas tree in Russia was installed on Red Square at the end of November. It reaches 21 meters in height and is decorated with festive illumination, balls and flags, as well as pendants depicting the characters of your favorite cartoons - Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, a hare and a wolf from “Wait a minute,” Cheburashka and a crocodile Gena, etc.
At night, a large ruby star lights up at the top of the tree. New Year's fairs are working near the Christmas tree.
However, the main Christmas tree of the country is located on the Cathedral Square of the Moscow Kremlin. In height, she overtook her "colleague" and reaches as much as 27 meters. Of course, the all-Russian tree cannot be compared with the tallest tree in the world, but for the feeling of a holiday, length is not the main thing. But jewelry is very important. And with this, a hundred-year-old fluffy beauty is all right. It is decorated with 2000 retro-style toys and garlands with a total length of one and a half meters.
The main Russian tree was delivered to the capital by a special road train through the Spassky Gate.
We hope this article gave you a good mood and set you in a positive mood. Enjoy your holidays and happiness in the New Year!
