Taipei 101

Yangmingshan National Park
Aerial views of the lush, volcanic mountain ranges that border the northern edge of the Taipei basin.
For the best visibility, choose a seat behind the wing. On morning flights, the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Japanese and Taiwanese coastlines. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the Taipei skyline.
