Keelung Islet
A prominent volcanic rock island that serves as a landmark for the entrance to the Keelung harbor during the descent.
Yangmingshan National Park
Views of the dormant volcanic massifs and lush greenery north of Taipei city as the plane turns for the runway.
Taoyuan Coastline

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh direct glare of the sun. While it offers fewer island sightings, it provides a better view of the northern Taiwanese coastline and the mountainous Yangmingshan area if the flight path approaches from the north. Watch for the cargo ships dotting the East China Sea.
