HGH β†’ RMQ

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the dramatic transition from mainland China's coastal mountains to the majestic Central Mountain Range of Taiwan as you approach Taichung.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Zhejiang Highlands

Dense, mist-covered mountain ranges of southern Zhejiang province visible shortly after takeoff from Hangzhou.

🌊

Wenzhou Coastline

The intricate network of islands and bays near Wenzhou as the flight leaves the mainland over the East China Sea.

πŸ”οΈ

Xueshan Range

Breathtaking views of Taiwan's second-highest peak, Snow Mountain, visible during the descent into the Taichung Basin.

πŸ™οΈ

Taichung Cityscape

A panoramic view of the dense urban grid and high-rises of Taichung city as the plane aligns for its final approach.

🏞️

Central Mountain Spine

The towering 3,000-meter peaks of Taiwan's interior forming a dramatic backdrop to the eastern horizon.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct western sun glare while capturing the sharp relief of the Taiwan mountains. Look for the 'Sea of Clouds' often trapped against the Xueshan range during spring and autumn. This side is also best for seeing the city center during a standard northern approach to RMQ.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
πŸ’§

Qiantang River

Immediate views of the massive Qiantang River winding through Hangzhou right after departure.

🚒

Taiwan Strait

Witness the heavy maritime traffic of container ships and fishing vessels navigating one of the world's busiest waterways.

🌬️

Coastal Wind Farms

Huge offshore and onshore wind turbines lining the Miaoli and Taichung coastlines as you descend.

βš“

Taichung Harbor

View the massive industrial cranes and shipping containers of one of Taiwan's primary international ports.

πŸŒ…

Strait Sunset

On late afternoon flights, this side provides an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the water.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the Taiwan Strait. Keep an eye out for the white wind turbines along the coastβ€”they serve as a great visual cue that you are crossing from the sea onto the island. This side is typically quieter visually until the final 15 minutes of the flight.
