Xueshan Range
View the majestic peaks of Taiwan's second highest mountain range shortly after takeoff.
Lishan Alpine Orchards
Spot the high-altitude agricultural terraces nestled among the deep mountain valleys.
Taroko National Park
Peer into the deep, winding marble canyons as the plane crosses the mountain spine.
Qingshui Cliff
Massive marble cliffs dropping 800 meters vertically into the turquoise Pacific Ocean.
Qixingtan Beach
The iconic crescent-shaped pebble beach visible during the final approach to Hualien.
Book a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to avoid the clouds that typically gather over the Central Mountain Range in the afternoon. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the sudden transition from grey marble cliffs to the deep blue Pacific. Sit slightly behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the canyons.

Look south to catch a glimpse of Taiwan's most famous alpine lake nestled in the foothills.
Hehuanshan Peaks

The Backbone of Taiwan
A continuous chain of 3,000-meter peaks forming the rugged central spine of the island.
Hualien City
The urban grid of Hualien sandwiched between the mountains and the sea during landing.
Pacific Horizon

This side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the mountain peaks perfectly. Look for the distinct 'V' shaped valleys of the East Rift Valley as you approach the coast. If the flight path takes a southern approach, you will get a great overhead view of Hualien City's harbor.
