Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft is superior as it offers sweeping views of Taiwan's majestic Central Mountain Range during departure and the intricate Qiantang River delta during the descent into Hangzhou.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Central Mountain Range

Dramatic views of Taiwan's 'backbone,' featuring peaks over 3,000 meters that run the length of the island.

🏙️

Taichung & Hsinchu

Distant views of the sprawling urban landscapes and high-tech corridors along Taiwan's western plain.

🏞️

Qiantang River

The massive river known for the world's largest tidal bore, winding through the landscape toward Hangzhou.

🌉

Hangzhou Bay Bridge

Depending on the approach path, you may spot one of the longest trans-oceanic bridges in the world.

Morning flights are best for the right side to avoid direct sun glare while illuminating the green peaks of the Central Mountain Range. During descent, look for the unique silty patterns where the Qiantang River meets the East China Sea.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🚢

Kaohsiung Harbor

A bird's-eye view of one of the world's largest container ports and the Love River mouth immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Penghu Archipelago

A collection of 90 islands and islets in the Taiwan Strait, known for their unique basalt formations and turquoise waters.

🌊

Taiwan Strait

The vast expanse of the strait separating the island from the mainland, often dotted with cargo ships and fishing vessels.

🏖️

Zhejiang Coastal Islands

As the plane nears Hangzhou, view the rugged coastline and numerous small islands near Wenzhou.

Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Taiwan Strait. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the geometric patterns of the Kaohsiung port facilities.
