Which side of the plane to sit from Kinmen Airport (Kinmen) to Makung Airport (Makung)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Kinmen coastline upon departure and provides a breathtaking panorama of the northern Penghu islands and the iconic Great Bridge during the final approach.
Kinmen South Coast
View the golden sandy beaches and rugged granite coastline of Greater Kinmen immediately after takeoff.
Xiamen Skyline
On clear days, the dense high-rise skyline of Xiamen in mainland China is visible across the narrow channel.
Penghu Great Bridge
The famous 2.5km bridge connecting Xiyu and Baisha islands is clearly visible during the descent into Makung.
Zhongtun Wind Farm
Large white wind turbines standing against the blue sea on the northern islands of the archipelago.
Choose a window seat on the left for the best view of the Penghu Great Bridge. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the turquoise waters of the strait and the white sands of the islands. During winter, expect some haze from the seasonal winds.
Lieyu (Little Kinmen)
Catch a glimpse of the smaller Lieyu island to the west of the main Kinmen island shortly after departure.
Taiwan Strait Traffic
Observe dozens of cargo ships and fishing vessels navigating one of the world's busiest maritime shipping lanes.
Makung Harbor
A close-up view of the urban center of Makung and its busy fishing port as the aircraft aligns with the runway.
The right side is the best choice for sunset flights, as you'll see the sun dip into the Taiwan Strait. Keep your camera ready during the final 5 minutes of the flight for detailed views of the basalt rock formations that define Penghu's unique volcanic geology.
