Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the contrasting landscapes, from the dense high-rises of Xiamen during takeoff to the picturesque Gaomei Wetlands upon arrival in Taichung.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Xiamen Skyline

Clear views of the impressive coastal skyscrapers and urban sprawl of Xiamen, China, just across the water.

🏖️

Mashan Observation Post

The northernmost point of Kinmen, historically significant for its proximity to the mainland.

🌊

Taiwan Strait Lanes

Observation of major international shipping routes with numerous container ships and fishing vessels.

🌬️

Gaomei Wetlands

The iconic row of wind turbines and sprawling tidal flats during the descent into Taichung.

🏘️

Dajia District

The dense residential patterns of northern Taichung as the aircraft aligns with the runway.

Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to get the best lighting on the Xiamen coast without sun glare. During the final 10 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for the Gaomei Wetlands wind turbines which are a highlight of the RMQ approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Lieyu (Little Kinmen)

Aerial view of the smaller, lush island located to the southwest of the main Kinmen island.

⚓

Port of Taichung

The massive industrial infrastructure and colorful shipping containers of Taiwan's second-largest port.

🎡

Mitsui Outlet Ferris Wheel

A prominent landmark near the harbor area easily visible during the low-altitude approach.

⛰️

Central Mountain Range

On clear days, the distant but majestic silhouette of Taiwan's high mountain spine.

🚜

Changhua Plains

The patchwork of agricultural fields stretching south from the Taichung metropolitan area.

The right side is best during afternoon flights to avoid the western sun. It provides an excellent perspective of the industrial might of Taichung Port. Look for the Central Mountain Range in the background; they are most visible in the autumn and winter months when the air is clearer.
