HANFUK

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Central Mountain Range of Taiwan and the stunning turquoise reef patterns of the Ryukyu Islands before the final approach into Fukuoka.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

Hainan Island

Early views of the tropical northern coast of China's largest island province.

⛰️

Central Mountain Range

Dramatic 3,000-meter peaks of Taiwan piercing through the clouds during the mid-flight segment.

💎

Ryukyu Islands

Vivid turquoise waters and coral reefs surrounding the southern Japanese island chain.

🌿

Kyushu Coastline

The lush, volcanic greenery of southern Japan as the plane begins its descent.

🏙️

Fukuoka Skyline

A stunning close-up of the Hakata district and Fukuoka Tower if landing from the north.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. Aim for an afternoon flight to witness the golden hour reflecting off the Taiwan Strait. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing to fully appreciate the high-altitude views of the Taiwanese Alps.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Pearl River Delta

Distal views of the massive urban clusters of Hong Kong and Shenzhen under clear skies.

🌊

East China Sea

A vast expanse of deep blue water often dotted with hundreds of commercial fishing vessels.

🌋

Jeju Island

Potential sightings of South Korea's iconic Hallasan volcano on certain northern flight paths.

⚓

Fukuoka Bay

Clear views of the Uminonakamichi sandbar and the surrounding industrial port facilities.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Look out for the rugged coastline of Fujian province halfway through the journey and enjoy a smoother entry into the Fukuoka terminal area.
