Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic Central Mountain Range, showcasing Taiwan's high-altitude peaks and lush valleys before transitioning to the impressive Kaohsiung skyline.

Right Side Highlights

🏔️

Central Mountain Range

Dominant views of Taiwan's highest peaks, often shrouded in a sea of clouds.

🛤️

East Rift Valley

The fertile longitudinal valley nestled between the two major mountain ranges.

🏞️

Luye Highland

Recognizable tea plantations and the site of the famous international hot air balloon festival.

🌾

Pingtung Plain

The transition from rugged mountains to the wide agricultural heartland of southern Taiwan.

🏙️

85 Sky Tower

Kaohsiung's iconic skyscraper visible as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.

🚢

Port of Kaohsiung

One of the world's largest container ports, bustling with maritime activity during descent.

The right side is superior for mountain photography. Choose a morning flight for the best lighting on the Central Mountain Range. During the approach to KHH, this side provides the most iconic views of the Kaohsiung cityscape and the harbor area. Watch for seasonal cloud cover which is most common in spring.

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Philippine Sea stretching toward the horizon.

🏖️

Qixingtan Beach

A stunning crescent-shaped pebble beach visible immediately after takeoff from Hualien.
