Which side of the plane to sit from Dayong Airport (Dayong) to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the iconic Tianmen Mountain immediately after takeoff and a more dramatic perspective of Taiwan's Central Mountain Range upon approach.
Tianmen Mountain
A stunning, close-up view of the 'Heaven's Gate' natural arch located just south of the airport right after takeoff.
Wuyi Mountains
The UNESCO World Heritage mountain range featuring lush greenery and dramatic cliff faces in northern Fujian.
Xiamen and Quanzhou
Major historical port cities of Fujian with visible bridges and bustling harbor activity.
Central Mountain Range
The towering peaks of Taiwan's interior rising above the clouds during the descent into Taoyuan.
Taoyuan Coastline
Views of the western wetlands and the iconic rows of wind turbines along the Taiwan coast.
The right side is essential for the best view of Tianmen Mountain. For afternoon flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, making it potentially hot and bright; use the window shade between highlights.
Wulingyuan Peaks
Distant views of the famous sandstone pillars of the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park to the north.
Nanchang Cityscape
The capital of Jiangxi province and the winding Gan River are often visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Fuzhou Coastline
The rugged, jagged coastline of Fujian province as the aircraft prepares to cross the Taiwan Strait.
Taiwan Strait Shipping
High-altitude views of one of the world's busiest maritime trade routes.
Taipei Skyline
On clear days during a northern approach, Taipei 101 and the city basin are visible in the distance.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides a great view of the northern tip of Taiwan, including the Tamsui River, if the plane circles around for a northern landing at TPE.
