Which side of the plane to sit from Kinmen Airport (Kinmen) to Taipei Songshan Airport (Taipei)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular aerial view of Kinmen's traditional architecture upon takeoff and an unparalleled panorama of the Taipei skyline, including Taipei 101, during the final descent into Songshan Airport.
Kinmen Heritage Villages
Bird's-eye view of red-tiled Minnan-style traditional houses and historic settlements.
Miramar Ferris Wheel
A brightly lit landmark visible in the Dazhi district during the low-altitude final approach.
Taipei 101
The iconic supertall skyscraper stands out prominently against the city skyline just before touchdown.
Keelung River
The winding river path that leads the aircraft directly into the heart of the city for landing.
Yangmingshan National Park
Distant views of the lush, green volcanic mountain range to the north of the city.
The right side is essential for the 'city tour' experience. For the best views of Taipei 101, hope for a landing on Runway 10. Sunset flights provide a stunning golden glow over the Taipei Basin, highlighting the contrast between the mountains and the urban sprawl.
Xiamen Skyline
A clear view of the dense skyscrapers and urban development along the coast of Xiamen, China.
Kinmen Bridge
The impressive 5.4km bridge connecting Greater Kinmen and Lieyu island over the sea.
Tamsui River Estuary
The scenic meeting point of the Tamsui River and the Taiwan Strait as you approach the mainland.
Guanyin Mountain
A distinctive volcanic peak resembling a reclining goddess overlooking the Taipei Basin.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for observing the close proximity between Kinmen and the Chinese mainland. Look out for the massive cargo ships navigating the Taiwan Strait mid-flight.
