KHH → XUZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung) to Xuzhou Guanyin Airport (Xuzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a magnificent perspective of Taiwan's Central Mountain Range immediately after takeoff and a superior view of the Yangtze River Delta's complex water networks during the descent.
Central Mountain Range
Breathtaking views of Taiwan's 'backbone' with peaks exceeding 3,000 meters visible shortly after KHH departure.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A stunning cluster of islands and bridges located at the mouth of the Yangtze River.
Yangtze River Delta
One of the most densely populated regions on Earth, showcasing massive urban sprawl and industrial scale.
Taihu Lake
A vast freshwater lake near Suzhou, recognizable by its unique shape and surrounding historic water towns.
Grand Canal
Glimpses of the ancient Jing-Hang Grand Canal segments as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at XUZ.
Choose this side for the best mountain photography during the first 20 minutes of flight. As you approach the Yangtze River, look for the massive cable-stayed bridges connecting the north and south banks. Best viewed in the afternoon when the sun highlights the coastal geography to the east.
Taiwan Strait
Clear views of the maritime transit corridor and numerous cargo ships crossing between the mainland and the island.
Quanzhou Coastline
The flight's entry point into Mainland China, featuring a highly indented coastline with deep bays and ports.
Fujian Highlands
Aerial views of the rolling green hills and tea-growing regions of inland Fujian province.
Jiangsu Lowlands
The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields and irrigation canals as you head north toward Xuzhou.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. Keep an eye out for the transition from the blue waters of the Strait to the mist-covered mountains of Fujian. It is particularly scenic during the golden hour when the inland rivers reflect the sky.
