Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Fujian coastline during the transition to the Taiwan Strait and provides a stunning perspective of the Kaohsiung skyline and the Central Mountain Range upon arrival.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Wuyi Mountains Foothills

View the lush, rolling green terrain of the Fujian province as the flight heads southeast from Changsha.

🏙️

Quanzhou & Xiamen Coastline

Catch a glimpse of the densely populated urban centers and busy ports along the Fujian coast before heading over the water.

🌊

Taiwan Strait Crossing

The vast blue expanse of the strait where the East China Sea meets the South China Sea.

🏔️

Central Mountain Range

As you approach Taiwan, the towering peaks of the island's spine are visible in the distance to the east.

🏗️

85 Sky Tower

On final approach into KHH, the left side usually offers a clear view of Kaohsiung's iconic skyscraper and urban sprawl.

Sit on the left for the best views of the sunset if you are flying in the late afternoon. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the dense Kaohsiung city blocks and the green mountains to the east. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Fujian coastline.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🏞️

Hunan River Systems

See the intricate networks of rivers and agricultural plains surrounding the Changsha area shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Penghu Archipelago

On clear days, you can spot the scattered islands of the Penghu district in the middle of the Taiwan Strait.

🚢

Kaohsiung Harbor

During the final descent, view the massive container ships and the bustling activity of one of the world's largest ports.

🌅

South China Sea Horizon

Enjoy an unobstructed view of the horizon where the sea meets the sky, particularly beautiful during golden hour.

The right side is excellent for observing maritime traffic and the industrial scale of Kaohsiung's port during landing. If the flight path takes a more southerly route over the water, this side offers a peaceful, meditative view of the open sea.
