Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the mainland China coastline, major industrial hubs like Dalian, and a panoramic perspective of the Yangtze River Delta before the final approach into Taiwan.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌾

Northeast China Plain

Vast agricultural patterns and industrial clusters visible immediately after departing Changchun.

🚢

Dalian & Liaodong Peninsula

A clear view of the strategic port city and the rugged tip of the peninsula extending into the sea.

🌉

Yangtze River Delta

The massive, complex network of rivers, canals, and urban sprawl around the mouth of the Yangtze River.

🏙️

Taoyuan Cityscape

Detailed views of the dense urban development and industrial parks of Taoyuan during the final descent.

⛰️

Western Taiwan Foothills

The lush green slopes and valleys of the Xueshan Range visible in the distance during the landing phase.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 60-80 minutes into the flight to capture the crossing of the Yangtze River, which is a major geographic milestone.
