Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this route as it offers sweeping views of the Pearl River Delta's urban sprawl, the scenic Fujian coastline, and a spectacular close-up of downtown Taipei and Taipei 101 during the final approach into Songshan Airport.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Pearl River Delta

The massive interconnected urban areas of Guangzhou and Shenzhen visible during mid-flight.

🏝️

Xiamen & Kinmen

Aerial views of Xiamen's coastal skyline and the nearby island of Kinmen.

🗼

Taipei 101

The iconic bamboo-shaped skyscraper dominating the skyline during the final approach into Songshan.

🛣️

Taipei Cityscape

Dense urban grid, the Daan District, and the Xinyi financial area just before touchdown.

For the best experience, book a seat in the front or rear of the wing to avoid view obstruction. The right side is critical for the 'Songshan landing' experience, which often flies directly past Taipei 101. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photographing the Taipei skyline.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Guangxi Karst Peaks

Distinctive limestone formations and rugged green mountains shortly after takeoff from Nanning.

🌊

Taiwan Strait North

The expansive blue waters of the strait with potential views of the Matsu Islands depending on the flight path.

🏞️

Yangmingshan National Park

Lush volcanic mountains and steaming geothermal valleys as the plane banks toward northern Taiwan.

🏗️

Port of Keelung

A glimpse of the major northern shipping hub and the rocky coastline of New Taipei City.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and better views of the northern Taiwanese coastline. It is particularly scenic during the descent when the aircraft maneuvers over the Keelung River. Look for the colorful Grand Hotel Taipei perched on the hillside.
