MZG → KHH
Which side of the plane to sit from Makung Airport (Makung) to Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung)?
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.
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.
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.
