Which side of the plane to sit from Nanjing Lukou Airport (Nanjing) to Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Chinese coastline, the Taiwan Strait, and a spectacular aerial perspective of Kaohsiung Harbor and the 85 Sky Tower during the descent.
Lake Taihu
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, visible to the west shortly after departing Nanjing.
Fujian Coastline
Intricate coastlines, small islands, and the bustling port cities of Fuzhou and Xiamen.
Taiwan Strait
Watch for the heavy maritime traffic and cargo ships traversing this critical global shipping lane.
Kaohsiung Harbor
A bird's-eye view of one of the world's largest container ports during the final approach.
85 Sky Tower
The iconic silhouette of Kaohsiung's tallest building as the plane lines up for the runway.
This is the 'money side' for landing. As you descend into KHH, the right side typically faces the city and the harbor. Morning flights are ideal for this side to avoid the harsh afternoon sun reflecting off the water. Look for the Love River winding through the city just before touchdown.
Nanjing Suburbs
View of the southern expansion of Nanjing and the lush hills of Jiangsu province shortly after takeoff.
East China Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight moves away from the mainland toward the south.
Central Mountain Range
Majestic views of Taiwan's rugged interior peaks, including distant views of Xueshan and Yushan.
Sea of Clouds
Often spectacular cloud formations trapped against the high ridges of the Taiwanese mountains.
Sit here if you enjoy mountain scenery. On clear days, the silhouettes of Taiwan's high-altitude peaks are stunning. For afternoon flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare.
