CKG → KHH
Which side of the plane to sit from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing) to Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung)?
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.
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.
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.
