Plane spotting at Taiwan's Taipei airport

 A few weeks ago, my wife and I, heading to Tokyo, had a three-hour stopover in Taipei. Our China Airlines Airbus A350 departed Brisbane right on time at 22.50. We landed on 05R in Taipei 8 hours 20 minutes later at 05.10 Taipei time. 

Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE/RCTP) is 33mts (108 ft) AMSL. It is the busiest and largest airport in Taiwan. It has two main runways - 05L/23R which is long 3,660 mts long (12,008 feet) and is Asphalt. The second runway is 05R/23L which is 3,800 mts long (12,467 feet) and it is also Asphalt.

05R was the main active runway that morning, but sadly, where our arrival gate was, and then where the coffee shop we found was, it overlooked 05L. At first it was very quiet but after 40 minutes or so, it became active. All these shots were taken through thick glass.
