MZG → RMQ
Which side of the plane to sit from Makung Airport (Makung) to Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport (Taichung)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Gaomei Wetlands and the northern Penghu archipelago, providing a more diverse coastal landscape during the descent into Taichung.
Northern Penghu Islands
Clear views of Baisha and Xiyu islands, showcasing the unique basaltic coastline and turquoise waters.
Taiwan Strait
A brief crossing over the deep blue waters of the strait with frequent sightings of fishing vessels.
Gaomei Wetlands
The most iconic landmark on this route, featuring sprawling tidal flats and a long line of wind turbines.
Taichung Port
A bird's-eye view of one of Taiwan's largest commercial ports, including container terminals and giant ships.
Clearwater District
Aerial perspective of the urban-rural interface as the plane aligns for its final approach to RMQ.
For the best photography of the Gaomei Wetlands, choose a late afternoon flight when the sun is behind the plane, illuminating the coastline. On clear days, you can see all the way to the northern tip of Penghu during departure.
Magong City Skyline
View of the Penghu capital and the Guanyinting Rainbow Bridge shortly after takeoff.
Southern Penghu Archipelago
Distant views of the smaller islets scattered to the south of the main Penghu island group.
Lukang Coastline
The historical town of Lukang and the surrounding industrial parks and salt pans are visible to the south.
Bagua Plateau
A prominent green ridge that defines the southern edge of the Taichung basin visible in the distance.
Dadu River Estuary
The wide river mouth that serves as the natural border between Taichung and Changhua County.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid glare from the sun. It provides a great view of the Central Mountain Range in the distance on exceptionally clear days following a rainstorm.
