Which side of the plane to sit from Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung) to Kinmen Airport (Kinmen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Kaohsiung harbor during takeoff and provides a stunning perspective of the Xiamen skyline and the Kinmen Bridge during the final approach.
Kaohsiung Harbor
Aerial view of Taiwan's largest port and the iconic 85 Sky Tower shortly after departure.
Taiwan Strait
Expansive views of the sparkling blue waters separating Taiwan from mainland China.
Xiamen Skyline
A clear view of the dense skyscrapers of Xiamen, China, looming just across the water from Kinmen.
Kinmen Bridge
The impressive cross-sea bridge connecting Greater Kinmen and Little Kinmen (Lieyu) is highly visible during descent.
Book an afternoon flight to catch the sun setting over the Taiwan Strait. This side is essential for seeing the dramatic proximity between Kinmen and Xiamen's modern skyline. Keep your camera ready as the plane turns for its final approach toward Runway 06.
Chianan Plain
The lush agricultural landscapes of southwestern Taiwan visible immediately after takeoff.
Penghu Archipelago
Mid-flight, you can often spot the distinct basalt islands of Penghu dotting the sea to the north.
Mount Taiwu
The highest point in Kinmen, featuring rugged granite terrain and historic shrines.
Kinmen North Coast
Views of the anti-landing spikes (rail poles) on the beaches and the rural northern townships.
The right side is better for spotting the Penghu Islands halfway through the flight. On a clear day, you may also see the distant coastline of Quanzhou in Fujian Province. It is generally the 'quieter' side in terms of urban density but great for island spotting.
