To mark the 81st anniversary of Taiwan's restoration from Japan's colonial rule, China's Jilin-1 satellites have released a series of stunning high-resolution images that clearly capture streets and landmarks from space of China's Taiwan region.

The collection includes detailed views of Taipei City and Sun Moon Lake.

Developed by Chang Guang Satellite Technology, the Jilin-1 constellation is a key component of China's optical remote sensing network. It currently operates about 141 satellites in orbit.
