Poyang Lake

Visible to the north shortly after takeoff, China's largest freshwater lake provides a massive blue contrast.

Xiamen Skyline

Aerial view of the island city of Xiamen and the surrounding Zhangzhou coastal region.

🏝️

Penghu Islands

The distinct archipelago of basalt islands situated in the middle of the Taiwan Strait.

🚢

Kaohsiung Harbor

An incredible view of one of the world's largest container ports with dozens of cargo ships at anchor.

🏗️

85 Sky Tower

Kaohsiung's tallest skyscraper and the Love River area are highly visible during the final approach into KHH.

The right side is premier for sunset flights, offering views of the sun dipping into the Taiwan Strait. Keep a close watch for the Penghu Islands midway through the crossing. During the final approach, this side provides the best view of the industrial and maritime heart of Kaohsiung.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Nanchang Gan River

View of the Gan River and the expanding urban landscape of Nanchang shortly after departure.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountains

The lush, rugged peaks of the Wuyi mountain range as you fly over the Jiangxi-Fujian border.

🌊

Quanzhou Bay

The intricate coastline and major shipping hubs of Fujian province before heading out over open water.

🏔️

Taiwan Central Range

On clear days, the distant but towering silhouettes of Taiwan's high mountain spine are visible to the east.

🏘️

Tainan Cityscape

A top-down view of the historical city of Tainan and the dense urban sprawl of southern Taiwan.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is better if you want to see the transition from the mainland mountains to the high-altitude peaks of Taiwan's interior. Look for the massive fish ponds and aquaculture farms along the Taiwanese coast during descent.
