Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Fujian coastline during departure and a better perspective of the northern Taiwan shoreline and Tamsui River mouth during the approach into Taoyuan.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Quanzhou Bay

Clear views of the massive Quanzhou Bay Bridge and the industrial skyline of the Jinjiang area shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Pingtan Island

Often visible to the north, this large island is known for its rugged coastline and extensive offshore wind farms.

🚢

Taiwan Strait Traffic

One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, filled with cargo vessels and fishing boats dotting the blue expanse.

🌊

Northern Taiwan Coast

Dramatic views of the Shimen and Sanzhi districts as the plane banks for its final approach.

⛰️

Yangmingshan National Park

On clear days, the volcanic peaks and lush green ridges of northern Taiwan are visible during the descent.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the sun's glare over the water. This side is particularly scenic during the descent if the flight path follows the 'B591' route, providing a panoramic view of the Taipei basin's northern edge.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏖️

Jinjiang Beaches

View the sandy stretches and coastal developments of southern Quanzhou immediately after departure.

🌊

Open Strait

A vast, uninterrupted horizon of the Taiwan Strait, ideal for spotting whitecaps and cloud formations.

🌾

Taoyuan Coastal Plains

As you land, see the characteristic 'thousand ponds' landscape and industrial zones of western Taiwan.

🏔️

Central Mountain Range

The distant, towering silhouette of Taiwan's high peaks can be seen inland during the final minutes of flight.

The right side is the 'sunset side' for late afternoon flights, offering spectacular colors over the water. Watch for the numerous wind turbines lining the Taoyuan coastline as the aircraft crosses the beach for touchdown.
