Which side of the plane to sit from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (Chengdu) to Taipei Songshan Airport (Taipei)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the 'Mountain City' Chongqing, the rugged Fujian coastline, and the iconic Taipei 101 during the low-altitude approach into downtown Taipei.
Chongqing City
The dramatic skyline of the mountain city at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers.
Wuyi Mountains
Stunning UNESCO heritage peaks and karst-like formations in Fujian province.
Fujian Coastline
The intricate bays, islands, and fishing ports of the southeastern Chinese coast.
Taiwan Strait
A busy maritime corridor filled with cargo ships and tankers moving through the channel.
Taipei 101
The world-famous skyscraper is often clearly visible on the right during the final approach to runway 10.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'City Landing' at TSA. For the best photos of Taipei 101 and the city center, choose a window seat behind the wing. Afternoon flights offer warm, golden light on the Taipei skyline.
Northern Chengdu
View of the dense urban layout and the northern expansion of the Sichuan capital.
Sichuan Basin
A vast, misty patchwork of agricultural fields and river networks across the basin floor.
Daba Mountains
The northern edge of the basin featuring rugged ridges and deep forest valleys.
East China Sea
The transition from the mainland to the deep blue waters of the strait.
Yangmingshan
The dormant volcanic peaks of northern Taiwan as you enter the Taipei Basin.
Morning flights provide the best lighting for the northern scenery without the sun's glare. Choose a seat ahead of the wing to clearly see the Yangmingshan mountains during the final descent into Taipei Songshan.
