Rockefeller Center - New York, NY, USA - Flags of the World on Waymarking.com

The flags include Nepal, Myanmar, China, Japan, Indonesia, China, Japan, and many other Asian countries.

Taken from Wikipedia, "Some 200 flagpoles line the plaza at street level. Flagpoles around the plaza display flags of United Nations member countries, the U.S. states and territories, or decorative and seasonal motifs. During national and state holidays, every pole carries the flag of the United States."

This website explains some of the displays, including the flags, at Rockefeeller Center. (visit link)

Another website explains the flags are the countries who are members of the United Nations. During the holidays, the flags are replaced by American flags. "About 200 flags surround the recessed Lower Plaza. The flags are normally those of the United Nations member countries except when they are rotated out during the Christmas season and for certain holidays. - See more at: (visit link)
