Hangzhou Bay
Aerial views of the massive bay and the East China Sea coastline shortly after takeoff.
Central Mountain Range
The dramatic 'spine' of Taiwan with numerous peaks exceeding 3,000 meters in elevation.
Jade Mountain (Yu Shan)
The highest peak in Northeast Asia, often visible rising above the cloud layer during descent.
West Coast Cities

Opt for the left side on morning flights to have the sun behind you, providing perfect lighting for the mountains. In winter, look for snow caps on the highest peaks. Keep your camera ready about 30 minutes before landing for the best mountain vistas.
