CAN → RMQ
Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport (Taichung)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more dynamic view of the Pearl River Delta's complex bridge infrastructure and a superior angle for the approach into Taichung, including the Penghu Islands.
Pearl River Estuary
Vast views of the Humen and Nansha Bridges connecting the industrial hubs of the PRD.
Shenzhen Skyline
The dense forest of skyscrapers in Shenzhen and distant views of Hong Kong's New Territories.
Daya Bay
Clear views of the curved coastline and the massive energy infrastructure near Huizhou.
Penghu Archipelago
The stunning volcanic islands and coral reefs scattered in the middle of the Taiwan Strait.
Taichung Basin
A sweeping view of the urban sprawl and the Bagua Plateau during the final landing approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun is in the east, illuminating the Taiwan Strait. This side often captures the Penghu Islands, which are a highlight of the route. During the final approach to RMQ, the right side usually provides a closer look at the city center and the western plains.
Guangzhou CBD
Aerial views of the Canton Tower and Zhujiang New Town shortly after departure from CAN.
Luofu Mountain Range
Lush green peaks of eastern Guangdong province visible during the initial climb.
Shantou Coastline
The scenic intersection of the Han River and the South China Sea.
Kinmen Islands
Distant views of the offshore islands situated just off the coast of Fujian.
Miaoli Highlands
The undulating green hills and tea plantations of northern Taiwan during the descent.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side provides a better view of the rugged mainland coastline and the northern tip of the Taiwan Strait before turning toward Taichung. Keep an eye out for the distinct river deltas along the Fujian coast.
