Plus, duty-free shopping in Taipei is excellent — from whisky and sake to Taiwanese teas and snacks, perfect for those who want to bring home high-quality souvenirs.

One unexpected highlight of flying Business Class with China Airlines was the sheer variety of dining opportunities:
-
Pre-flight meals at Suvarnabhumi Lounge

Snacks and meals again at Taipei Dynasty Lounge

A final meal service onboard from Taipei to Hiroshima
For food lovers, this felt like an indulgent culinary journey across three countries in a single day.
