Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a prime view of the legendary Huangshan and Wuyi Mountains during the cruise, culminating in an iconic perspective of the Taipei 101 skyscraper and the city skyline upon arrival at Songshan Airport.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Huangshan Massif

The granite peaks of the Yellow Mountains are often visible to the south shortly after leaving Hefei airspace.

🌲

Wuyi Mountains

A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic cliff formations and tea-growing valleys in Fujian.

🏙️

Taipei 101

The world-famous skyscraper and the Xinyi financial district are clearly visible on the right during the final approach to Runway 10.

🎡

Miramar Ferris Wheel

A distinct landmark in the Neihu District passed just moments before touchdown at Songshan.

🛣️

Keelung River

The plane follows the winding Keelung River, offering a unique urban canyon perspective of Taipei.

This is the 'scenic side' for the landing. Since Songshan is located in the heart of Taipei, the right side provides a direct view of the city's landmarks. Aim for a window seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of Taipei 101 during the low-altitude final approach.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Yangtze Delta Fringe

Dense urban sprawl and river networks of southern Anhui and Zhejiang shortly after departure.

🌊

East China Sea Coast

The intricate coastline of Fujian Province featuring numerous small islands and aquaculture farms.

🌋

Yangmingshan Peaks

Lush green volcanic terrain of the Yangmingshan National Park as the plane prepares for its descent into Taipei.

🚢

Tamsui River Mouth

View of the river meeting the sea, marking the entrance into the Taipei basin.

Sit on the left to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun during afternoon flights. This side provides a better view of the northern Taiwanese coastline and the mountainous terrain north of the city during the approach.
