Hangzhou Bay
View the massive estuary and the faint outline of the cross-sea bridge shortly after departing Shanghai.
Zhejiang Coastline
A scenic view of where the green, rugged mountains of southeastern China meet the blue waters of the strait.
Taipei 101
The flight's crown jewel; the aircraft often flies remarkably close to this iconic skyscraper during the final descent.
Tamsui River
Follow the winding river path as the plane descends into the heart of the Taipei basin for landing.
The right side is the definitive choice for the 'urban approach' into Songshan Airport. Book an afternoon flight for the best sun positioning to photograph the Taipei skyline and Taipei 101 without glare.
