Which side of the plane to sit from Ningbo Lishe International Airport (Ninbo) to Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport (Taichung)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic view of Taiwan's rugged Central Mountain Range and the Taichung Basin during the descent, providing a dramatic contrast between the sea and high-altitude peaks.
Ningbo Cityscape
Aerial view of the Yong River and the dense urban sprawl of Ningbo shortly after takeoff.
Zhoushan Archipelago
Clusters of islands scattered across the East China Sea as the flight heads south.
Central Mountain Range
Majestic views of Taiwan's spine, including the peaks of Xueshan (Snow Mountain) during the approach.
Taichung Basin
The dense residential and commercial heart of Taichung City set against a mountain backdrop.
On morning flights, the left side catches the rising sun reflecting off the East China Sea. For the best photography of Taiwan's mountains, choose a window seat mid-cabin or forward to avoid wing obstruction. Keep an eye out for the rapid change from blue water to the lush green heights of the island.
The Taiwan Strait
Expansive views of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes with numerous cargo vessels visible.
Matsu Islands
Potential distant sightings of the Matsu archipelago off the coast of Fujian province.
Taichung Port
A clear view of the massive industrial harbor and logistics hubs along the western coast.
Coastal Wind Farms
Rows of white wind turbines lining the Taichung coastline as the aircraft turns for landing.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Taiwan Strait. This side provides a better perspective of the coastal infrastructure and the maritime activity. It is generally less glare-heavy during southbound midday flights.
