Songshan Airport Observation Deck

Glass-fronted terminal deck with close-up views of jets landing on a single downtown runway.
This guide to the Songshan Airport Observation Deck in Taipei traces the airport's fall from Taiwan's main international gateway to a domestic hub, after passenger numbers collapsed when a new airport opened outside the city in 1979. You'll hear about its founding as a Japanese military field in 1936 and its postwar years welcoming diplomats and film stars from across Asia. Watch for a jet lining up on the single runway as you listen.
