Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the rugged Wuyi Mountains in Fujian and a stunning perspective of the Taiwan coastline and Central Mountain Range upon approach to Taichung.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏞️

Wuyi Mountains

Aerial views of the UNESCO World Heritage site featuring dramatic karst peaks and deep river valleys in northern Fujian.

🏙️

Quanzhou Urban Area

As the flight nears the coast, enjoy a clear view of the historic port city of Quanzhou and its dense urban sprawl.

🌊

Taiwan Strait

A vast expanse of blue water separating the mainland from Taiwan, often dotted with cargo ships and fishing vessels.

⛰️

Central Mountain Range

On clear days, the towering peaks of Taiwan's interior provide a majestic backdrop as the aircraft descends toward the coast.

For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. An afternoon flight is ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side, illuminating the Wuyi Mountains and the Taiwan coastline perfectly without glare. Keep an eye out for the Meizhou Island near the Fujian coast, famous for the Mazu Temple.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

Gan River Basin

Observe the winding Gan River as it snakes through the green landscapes of Jiangxi Province shortly after departure.

🏙️

Xiamen Coastline

Depending on the specific air corridor, the vibrant coastal city of Xiamen may be visible to the south during the crossing.

🏗️

Port of Taichung

Detailed views of one of Taiwan's largest commercial ports, including massive container terminals and wind turbines.

🏖️

Gaomei Wetlands

A beautiful ecological area visible just before touchdown, known for its wooden walkways and grassy tidal flats.

The right side is excellent for catching the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. During the descent into RMQ, the right side provides a great view of the industrial and coastal development of the Taichung region. Be prepared for some glare if flying during the morning hours when the sun is in the east.
