Which side of the plane to sit from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (Chengdu) to Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular approach into Kaohsiung, featuring views of the South China Sea, the Penghu Islands, and the sprawling industrial harbor and city skyline before landing.
Sichuan Basin Edge
The transition from the flat basin into the steep, terraced hillsides of southern Sichuan.
Karst Topography
Spot the unique limestone 'sugarloaf' peaks characteristic of the Guangxi region landscape.
Pearl River Estuary
Panoramic views of the coastline near Macau and the impressive sea-crossing bridge infrastructure.
Penghu Islands
The scattered islands of the Penghu archipelago appear as emerald jewels in the Taiwan Strait.
Kaohsiung Harbor
A front-row seat to one of the world's busiest container ports and the iconic 85 Sky Tower upon arrival.
This is the premier choice for the arrival phase. For late afternoon flights, you'll witness a stunning sunset over the Taiwan Strait. Request a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Kaohsiung skyline and the Love River during the final approach.
Chengdu Cityscape
Aerial view of the sprawling Sichuan capital and its concentric ring roads during departure.
Guizhou Highlands
Dramatic views of the rugged, mist-covered mountain ranges and deep river valleys of southwestern China.
Pearl River Delta
Distal views of the massive urban sprawl including Guangzhou and the northern reaches of the delta.
Fujian Coastline
Watch the transition from the mainland to the blue waters of the Taiwan Strait near Xiamen.
Taiwan Central Range
The high peaks of Taiwan's interior are visible to the east as you approach the island's southern tip.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. It provides a better perspective of the mainland's mountainous interior and the distant silhouettes of Taiwan's 3,000-meter peaks during the descent.
