Many hotels in Taitung are fully booked for New Year's Eve. Revelers hope to catch the first sunrise of the year on Taiwan proper, to take place at 6:35 am in the county's Kenting and Sansiantai areas. Airlines are also offering sunrise packages. A flight leaving Taoyuan for the Ryukyu Islands in Japan is advertising a glimpse at the sunrise 13 minutes early from an altitude of 30,000 feet.
