Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more dramatic perspective of the Wuyi Mountains in Fujian and the stunning silhouette of the Taiwan Central Mountain Range as you approach the island.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Wuling Mountains

Dramatic karst formations and deep valleys of western Hunan shortly after departure.

🏞️

Wuyi Mountains

UNESCO-listed peaks in Fujian known for their lush tea plantations and misty river bends.

🏙️

Fuzhou Skyline

Bird's eye view of the Min River delta and the dense urban sprawl of the Fujian capital.

⛰️

Taiwan Central Range

Spectacular views of Taiwan's high peaks rising above the clouds during the descent phase.

🏢

Kaohsiung Cityscape

Close-up views of the 85 Sky Tower and the metropolitan grid during final approach.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare. This side is superior for seeing the mountainous 'spine' of Taiwan as the plane aligns for landing at KHH. Look out for the Wuyi Mountains roughly halfway through the flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Guizhou Karst

Iconic conical hills and limestone topography near the Chongqing-Guizhou border.

💧

Gan River

The major waterway of Jiangxi province winding through the southern Chinese landscape.

🌊

Taiwan Strait

The expansive blue crossing between the mainland and Taiwan, often dotted with cargo ships.

🏝️

Penghu Archipelago

The volcanic basalt islands of the Pescadores visible in the middle of the strait.

🚢

Kaohsiung Port

Views of one of the world's busiest container terminals and the Cijin District coastline.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping into the Taiwan Strait. Keep a keen eye out for the Penghu Islands (Pescadores) about 20 minutes before landing, as they appear as distinct dark clusters in the blue water.
