Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this route as it offers potential views of Taihu Lake after takeoff and a spectacular panoramic view of Taiwan's Central Mountain Range during the descent into Taichung.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Taihu Lake

One of China's largest freshwater lakes, visible shortly after departure if the flight path tracks slightly east.

πŸ”οΈ

Tiantai Mountains

The rugged, forested peaks of southern Zhejiang province provide a dramatic landscape during the cruise phase.

🌊

East China Sea

The transition from the mainland to the vast blue expanse of the sea before entering the Taiwan Strait.

⛰️

Central Mountain Range

As you approach Taiwan, the island's 'backbone' emerges with peaks often rising above the clouds.

πŸ™οΈ

Greater Taichung

A dense urban view of the city and its surrounding basins as the aircraft prepares for landing.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the illuminated mountain ranges without direct sun glare. This side is particularly scenic during the final 20 minutes of flight when the high-altitude peaks of Taiwan become the primary focal point. Clear autumn days provide the best visibility for the inland lakes of mainland China.

πŸ™οΈ

Nanjing Suburbs

Views of the rapidly developing southern districts of Nanjing and the Qinhuai River system.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Zhejiang Coastline

The intricate jagged coastline and numerous small islands of the Wenzhou and Taizhou regions.

Taiwan Strait Shipping

One of the world's busiest maritime corridors, where numerous cargo ships can be spotted from cruise altitude.

🌾

Gaomei Wetlands

The distinctive grassy tidal flats and wind turbines of the coastal conservation area near the airport.

πŸ—οΈ

Port of Taichung

Detailed views of the industrial shipping infrastructure and logistics hubs during the final approach.

The right side is the prime choice for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Taiwan Strait. It offers a better perspective of the mainland's coastal geography. During the landing phase at RMQ, this side provides a clear view of the coastline and the massive wind turbines that line the shore.
