Neihu & Keelung River
Immediately after takeoff from TSA, view the urban sprawl of Neihu and the winding Keelung River.
Turtle Island
As you pass the Yilan coast, look out for Guishan Island emerging from the Pacific waters.
Pacific Ocean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Philippine Sea and the vast Pacific horizon.
Qingshui Cliff
A stunning aerial view of the massive marble cliffs dropping vertically into the turquoise sea.
Hualien Port
The industrial and scenic harbor area visible just before touchdown at HUN.
Book a morning flight to have the sun behind the plane, illuminating the coast without glare. The flight is very short (approx. 40-50 mins), so keep your window shade up from the moment of takeoff. The contrast between the deep ocean blue and the white coastal surf is most vivid on clear summer days.

Taipei 101
Depending on the wind direction, takeoff offers a majestic view of the Taipei skyline and its tallest landmark.
Central Mountain Range
The rugged, cloud-capped peaks of Taiwan's spine dominate the view for the entire flight.
Lanyang Plain
The patchwork of rice paddies and water-filled fields in Yilan County is visible during the mid-flight transition.
Taroko Gorge Entrance
Catch a glimpse of the mouth of the world-famous marble gorge as the plane descends into Hualien.
Hualien City
A detailed view of the coastal city and the Meilun Mountain Park area before landing.
This side is best for mountain enthusiasts. On afternoon flights, the sun sets to the west, casting long, dramatic shadows over the Central Mountain Range ridges. Watch for the 'sea of clouds' that often settles in the mountain valleys during autumn and winter months.
