HGH → TSA
Which side of the plane to sit from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (Hangzhou) to Taipei Songshan Airport (Taipei)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers an iconic urban approach into Taipei Songshan Airport, providing a close-up view of Taipei 101 and the dense city skyline which is one of the most famous urban landings in Asia.
Zhejiang Mountains
Rugged, misty peaks of the southern Zhejiang province shortly after departing Hangzhou.
Wenzhou Urban Area
A sprawling view of one of China's most famous commercial port cities along the coast.
Taipei 101
The most famous landmark in Taiwan, visible in its full height during the final approach into Songshan.
Xinyi District
The modern financial heart of Taipei with dense skyscrapers and high-end architecture just before touchdown.
The right side is essential for the 'Songshan Experience.' As TSA is an urban airport, the final 2 minutes of the flight provide a breathtaking low-altitude view of Taipei's central business district. Ensure your camera is ready for Taipei 101. Afternoon flights provide the best golden hour lighting on the city buildings.
East China Sea
Vast blue vistas as the flight crosses the maritime boundary between the mainland and Taiwan.
Tamsui River Mouth
The winding river that marks the entrance to the Taipei Basin and the northern tip of the island.
Yangmingshan National Park
Lush green volcanic peaks and thermal valleys located just north of the Taipei metropolitan area.
Choose the left side for natural scenery and coastal geography. If the flight arrives from the west, you will see the rugged northern coastline of Taiwan. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you for better photography of the green mountain ranges.
