Which side of the plane to sit from Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung) to Nanning Wuxu Airport (Nanning)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a dramatic view of Taiwan's high mountain ranges during takeoff and the iconic karst limestone mountains of Guangxi during the approach into Nanning.
Kaohsiung Cityscape
Aerial view of the 85 Sky Tower and the dense urban grid of southern Taiwan.
Central Mountain Range
The towering peaks of Taiwan's backbone visible to the north shortly after takeoff.
Penghu Islands
The volcanic archipelago of Penghu scattered like jewels in the Taiwan Strait.
Guangdong Highlands
The rolling green hills and tea-growing regions of inland southern China.
Guangxi Karst Peaks
The world-famous limestone formations and 'tooth-like' mountains surrounding Nanning.
The right side is significantly more scenic for terrain. To see the karst mountains clearly, choose a morning flight when the sun is behind you, providing better lighting and contrast on the limestone peaks. High-altitude visibility is usually best in autumn when the air is dryer and less hazy.
Cijin Island
View of the narrow island and the long coastline protecting the Kaohsiung harbor.
South China Sea
The vast expanse of the Taiwan Strait transitioning into the South China Sea.
Guangdong Coastline
Glimpses of the industrial hubs and busy shipping lanes along the southern Chinese coast.
Beibu Gulf
The northern waters of the Gulf of Tonkin as the flight turns inland toward Nanning.
Yong River
The winding river that snakes through the city of Nanning during the final approach.
On late afternoon flights, the left side will face the sun, which can cause significant glare; however, it offers a beautiful sunset over the sea. Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Nanning city sprawl and the Yong River during landing.
