Which side of the plane to sit from Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung) to Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Central Mountain Range of Taiwan shortly after takeoff and the expansive Poyang Lake and Yangtze River during the approach to Wuhan.
Central Mountain Range
Spectacular views of Taiwan's highest peaks, including Jade Mountain, visible immediately after takeoff.
Taipei Distance View
On clear days, the northern tip of Taiwan and the outskirts of Taipei can be seen.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake appearing as a massive silver mirror about 40 minutes before landing.
Yangtze River
The winding 'Golden Waterway' comes into view as the aircraft maneuvers for landing in Wuhan.
Wuhan Bridges
Views of the massive engineering marvels spanning the Yangtze River during the final descent.
Choose the right side for morning flights to see the sunrise illuminate the Taiwan mountains. For the best views of Poyang Lake, ensure you are looking out approximately 30 to 45 minutes before arrival at WUH.
Kaohsiung Harbor
Aerial view of Taiwan's largest port and the iconic 85 Sky Tower shortly after departure.
Taiwan Strait
A vast expanse of turquoise water separating the island from mainland China.
Wuyi Mountains
Dramatic karst formations and mist-covered peaks as you enter Fujian province.
Nanchang Skyline
The urban sprawl of Jiangxi's capital city often visible mid-flight.
Hubei Basin
A patchwork of agricultural fields and small lakes characteristic of central China.
The left side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the mainland. It provides a better view of the rugged Fujian coastline during the initial transition from sea to land.
