Dianchi Lake
A vast, shimmering freshwater lake located right next to Kunming, visible almost immediately after takeoff.
South China Sea Coast
Follow the intricate shoreline of Guangdong province, featuring secluded bays, sandy beaches, and offshore islands.
Kaohsiung Harbor
One of the most impressive views in aviation, looking down at massive container ships and the bustling industrial port infrastructure.
85 Sky Tower
The iconic prong-shaped skyscraper dominates the skyline on the right side during the final descent into KHH.
Shoushan (Monkey Mountain)
A prominent green peak guarding the harbor entrance that provides a sharp contrast to the urban skyline.
For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sun setting over the Taiwan Strait. This side is significantly better for photography during the landing phase, as most approaches offer a clear view of the Cijin Island and the main shipping channels.

Witness the rugged karst topography and deep limestone valleys that characterize the high-altitude landscape of Southwest China.
Pearl River Delta
A high-altitude view of the world's largest urban area, including the distant skylines of Guangzhou and the northern Pearl River.
Nanling Mountains
Dense, verdant mountain ranges that form the natural geographic boundary between Central and Southern China.
Taiwan Strait Crossing
The visual transition from the brown-green hues of the mainland to the deep turquoise of the strait waters.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. During the final approach, if the plane lands toward the east, you will get a detailed view of the Kaohsiung city grid and the Love River.
