Taiwan and Hong Kong

[AJ]

I will be in Hong Kong and Taiwan next week and will have some free time for some photography in Taipei, the city airport seems to be photographer friendly and busy.

Has anyone done any photography at the city airport?

Thanks,

AJ

Songshan Airport, just opened up a viewing terrace in 2011 and maybe worth checking out. Perimeter road is the best spots and some maybe only 15 min walk from the terminal. Chech with local spotters thru ANET and some maybe even spot with you for the day.

For VHHH, if you have 6 hours layover, you can take taxi to Tung Chung pier and then boat to SHA LO WAN. Awesome spot if 07s in use. For 25s. Just go to terminal 2 viewing terrace, it opens at 10 or 11 am.

Ps: please make sure to keep the ferry schedule and don't miss the last ferry.

Thanks Raj,

I am staying at the Marriott SkyCity near VHHH, the lounge on the top floor has an outdoor smoking area which is fantastic for arrivals views. Also the visitor terrace at the airport is great if they are landing that way.

Thanks for the heads up on Taipei Songshan Airport, this will be my focus (no pun intended), my fingers are crossed for good weather.

Best,

AJ

On the roof of the parking garage at Sung Shan Airport you can spot all day.
