Which side of the plane to sit from Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung) to Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Chinese coastline, the sprawling Yangtze River Delta, and the varied topography of the North China Plain.
Kaohsiung Cityscape
Clear views of the 85 Sky Tower and the bustling Kaohsiung Port immediately after takeoff.
Fujian Coastal Mountains
The rugged and lush green mountain ranges of Fujian Province as you cross the strait.
Yangtze River Delta
The massive urban sprawl surrounding Shanghai and the wide, sediment-rich mouth of the Yangtze River.
Lake Tai
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, surrounded by the canal cities of the Jiangnan region.
Yellow River Delta
The unique landscape where the silt-heavy Yellow River meets the Bohai Sea near Shandong.
Tianjin Binhai Area
Modern skyscrapers and the industrial heart of the Port of Tianjin visible during the final descent.
Seat on the left for the best view of the mainland's rapid urbanization and river systems. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the sun's glare over the land. Keep an eye out for the transition from the green south to the more arid, industrial north.
Taiwan Central Range
Distant views of Taiwan's high peaks if the flight path tracks closer to the island's coastline.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A dense cluster of hundreds of islands off the coast of Ningbo and Zhejiang.
Yellow Sea Horizon
Unobstructed views of the horizon, perfect for capturing sunrises or the 'Golden Hour' reflection.
Bohai Sea
The enclosed sea between the Shandong and Liaodong peninsulas, often filled with cargo ships.
Seasonal Sea Ice
During peak winter months, white sea ice can sometimes be seen forming along the northern coastline.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset reflecting off the sea. During winter, look for the unique patterns of sea ice in the Bohai Sea. It also offers a better chance to see the sprawling Zhoushan island chains if the sky is clear.
