Our Recommendation
7.9

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most diverse scenery, ranging from the industrial sprawl of Kaohsiung Harbor at takeoff to the sacred Mount Tai and the iconic Yellow River during the descent into Jinan.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🚢

Kaohsiung Harbor

Aerial view of Taiwan's largest port with massive container ships and the urban skyline of the Love River district.

🏔️

Wuyi Mountains

Distant glimpses of the UNESCO-listed peaks of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces through the haze.

💧

Lake Taihu

One of China's largest freshwater lakes, visible as a massive blue expanse near the city of Wuxi.

⛰️

Mount Tai

The most famous of China's Five Great Mountains, visible as a prominent granite massif south of Jinan.

🌊

The Yellow River

The winding 'Mother River' of China, showcasing its distinctive silt-heavy brown waters just before landing.

Sit on the left for the best departure views of Kaohsiung. As this is a northbound flight, an afternoon departure will result in direct sunlight on this side, so bring sunglasses. The highlight is the approach into Jinan; the Yellow River's massive bends are best viewed from this side roughly 15-20 minutes before touchdown.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏝️

Zhoushan Archipelago

A stunning collection of thousands of islands and islets scattered off the coast of Ningbo.

🌉

Hangzhou Bay Bridge

One of the longest trans-oceanic bridges in the world, appearing as a thin white line across the bay.

🏙️

Shanghai Skyline

On very clear days, the distant skyscrapers of Pudong and the massive mouth of the Yangtze River are visible.

🏗️

Lianyungang Port

A major maritime hub where the eastern end of the New Eurasian Land Bridge meets the Yellow Sea.

🏖️

Jiangsu Coastline

Intricate patterns formed by salt pans and aquaculture farms along the flat eastern coast.

The right side is superior for coastal enthusiasts and morning flights to avoid the sun's glare. It provides the best perspective of the East China Sea archipelagos and the massive infrastructure projects of the Yangtze River Delta. Keep an eye out mid-flight for the distinct boundary where the river sediment meets the ocean blue.
