Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is significantly more scenic, providing spectacular views of the Fujian coastal mountains, the Xiamen-Kinmen area, and the stunning Penghu archipelago during the crossing of the Taiwan Strait.

Right Side Highlights

⛰️

Wuyi Mountains

Lush, mist-covered peaks of the UNESCO World Heritage site along the Fujian border.

🏙️

Xiamen & Kinmen

A unique aerial perspective of Xiamen's modern skyline and the strategically located Kinmen islands.

🏝️

Penghu Islands

The breathtaking volcanic archipelago in the Taiwan Strait, known for its turquoise waters and coral reefs.

⚓

Kaohsiung Harbor

A prime view of one of the world's largest container ports and the iconic 85 Sky Tower during final descent.

Book an afternoon flight to ensure the sun is on the opposite side of the aircraft, providing perfect lighting for the Fujian coast and Penghu Islands. Keep your camera ready for the final 15 minutes of the flight for the best harbor views.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Yangtze River

A massive view of China's longest river as the flight heads south through the Anhui-Jiangxi region.

🏙️

Fuzhou Skyline

The sprawling urban landscape of the Fujian provincial capital near the Min River mouth.

🏔️

Central Mountain Range

The dramatic and rugged mountain peaks that form the backbone of Taiwan island.

🏙️

North Kaohsiung

Urban views of the northern districts and the Lotus Pond area during the landing sequence.

Choose a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Yangtze River. Morning flights are ideal for the left side as the sun illuminates the Central Mountain Range of Taiwan without creating glare on your window.
