Kaohsiung Harbor
Aerial view of Taiwan's largest port and the iconic 85 Sky Tower immediately after takeoff.
Central Mountain Range
The 'Spine of Taiwan' with peaks reaching over 3,000 meters, often shrouded in a sea of clouds.
Mount Dawu
The most prominent peak in southern Taiwan, appearing as a majestic sentinel to the east of the Pingtung Plain.
East Rift Valley
The narrow, fertile valley sandwiched between the Central and Coastal mountain ranges, visible during the descent.
Hualien City
A clear view of the city layout nestled against the mountains as the plane prepares for landing.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side to see the mountains illuminated by the sun without glare. This side is superior for geological enthusiasts who want to see the sheer verticality of Taiwan's terrain. Watch for the sudden transition from the flat Pingtung Plain to the massive mountain walls.

Philippine Sea
Endless horizons of the deep blue Pacific Ocean and the distinctive patterns of the Kuroshio Current.
Kenting Coastline
If the flight path arcs south, you can see the white sand beaches and coral reefs of the southern tip.
Hualien International Port
View of the busy harbor with its colorful Tetrapods and breakwaters during final approach.
Qixingtan Beach
The crescent-shaped gravel beach famous for its turquoise waters, visible just moments before touchdown.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to enjoy the soft lighting on the water and avoid the harsh sun. Look for the color change in the ocean where the deep trench begins near the shoreline. This side offers a very peaceful, maritime-focused experience compared to the rugged mountain views on the left.
