Flying to Taiwan
Songsang International Airport Station (MRT)
The airport was built in 1936 with its
origins as a Japanese military airbase, the Matsuyama Airdrome, during Japanese rule.
After World War II, in 1946, it was taken over by the Republic of China Air Force. Before the end of the Chinese Civil War and the establishment of the People's Republic of China the airport provided flight routes between Shanghai and Taipei, occasionally via Fuzhou. Shared military and civilian use—both domestic and international—began on April 16, 1950 in the reconstructed Civil Aeronautics Administration Taipei Airport.
Later, the airport became too small to handle an increased number of passengers, even after a series of expansions. This later worsened when new wide-body jets became common at the airport. Therefore, all international activities were relocated to Chiang Kai-shek International Airport (now Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport) after its inauguration on February 26, 1979. At its peak in 1997, the airport handled over 15.3 million passengers annually.

In early 1999 when the construction of Taipei 101
had just started, Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration
changed this airport's certain SID and STAR procedures to avoid possible
collision with the building. The 677-meter Fuxing North Road Underground
Passage was constructed between 1997 and 2006 under this airport's runway to
link the north and south side of this airport.
“What you’ve done becomes the judge of what you’re going to do
– especially in other people’s minds.
When you’re traveling, you are what you are right there and then.
People don’t have your past to hold against you.
No yesterdays on the road.”
