Which side of the plane to sit from Hualien Airport (Hualien) to Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic sequence starting with the turquoise Hualien coastline, followed by the island-rich Fujian coast, and culminating in a spectacular view of the Yellow River during descent.
Qixingtan Beach
The iconic crescent-shaped bay of Hualien with its distinct deep blue and turquoise water gradients.
Fujian Coastline
An intricate view of the jagged mainland coast featuring thousands of small islands and aquaculture farms.
Taiwan Strait
Observation of shipping lanes and fishing vessels dotting the waters between the island and the mainland.
The Yellow River
A magnificent view of the 'Mother River' of China as it meanders through the landscape just before landing in Jinan.
The right side is highly recommended for the descent into Jinan, as it typically offers the best view of the Yellow River. Choose a morning flight for the best lighting on the Fujian islands. During takeoff, look down immediately to see the contrast between the white surf and the dark pebble beaches of Hualien.
Central Mountain Range
Dramatic view of Taiwan's highest peaks and the rugged terrain surrounding Taroko Gorge immediately after takeoff.
Wuyi Mountains
The lush, mist-covered peaks of Fujian province as the flight heads northwest into mainland China.
Yangtze River Crossing
A view of the world's third-longest river as it winds through the plains of Anhui and Jiangsu provinces.
Hefei Skyline
Distant views of the rapidly expanding urban landscape and skyscrapers of the Anhui provincial capital.
Sit on the left for the most imposing views of Taiwan's mountain spine. Be aware that during afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, which may cause glare and heat. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the sharp rise of the mountains from the sea.
