Central Mountain Range
Stunning views of Taiwan's high-altitude peaks shortly after departing Kaohsiung.
Taiwan West Coast
Aerial perspectives of Tainan, Taichung, and the urban corridor along the island's western edge.
Hangzhou Bay
The massive inlet of the East China Sea, often featuring the world's longest sea-crossing bridges.
Lake Tai (Taihu)
The massive, circular freshwater lake that dominates the landscape south of the Yangtze River.
Yangtze River
The mighty 'Long River' winding through the plains as the flight aligns for its final descent.
Nanjing Suburbs
The rapid urban expansion and industrial zones surrounding the historic southern capital.
Sit on the right for the best photographic opportunities. Shortly after takeoff, the mountains of Taiwan are visible, and about 20 minutes before landing, Lake Tai provides a massive geographic landmark. Morning flights provide the best lighting for these features.

Taiwan Strait
Expansive views of the busy shipping lanes connecting the South and East China Seas.
Fujian Coastline
The rugged, indented coast of mainland China near Fuzhou and Quanzhou.
Wuyi Mountains
Distant glimpses of the UNESCO-listed peaks in the interior of Fujian and Jiangxi.
