Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer great views on this short hop, the right side is generally superior for its perspective of the southern Penghu islands and the iconic approach over Kaohsiung Harbor and Cijin Island.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Southern Penghu Islands

Excellent views of Wangan and Cimei islands scattered in the blue Taiwan Strait.

🚢

Kaohsiung Harbor

One of the world's busiest container ports, featuring massive ships and industrial cranes.

🏖️

Cijin Island

The long, narrow sandbar island protecting the harbor is clearly visible during the approach.

🐒

Shoushan (Monkey Mountain)

A prominent green landmark on the coastline just before the plane touches down.

Choose the right side for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Taiwan Strait. The view of the harbor entrance and the 85 Sky Tower is particularly stunning when landing from the northwest.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌉

Penghu Great Bridge

Visible shortly after takeoff if the plane departs towards the north before banking south.

🧂

Tainan Salt Fields

Geometric patterns of coastal salt pans and wetlands visible as you reach the mainland.

⛰️

Central Mountain Range

On clear days, the high peaks of Taiwan's spine rise majestically in the eastern distance.

🏙️

North Kaohsiung

Dense urban views of the Zuoying and Nanzi districts during the final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is better for spotting the Tainan coastline and the distant silhouette of the high mountains during the short cruise phase.
