Which side of the plane to sit from Naha Airport (Okinawa) to Kaohsiung International Airport (Kaohsiung)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a spectacular vantage point for the dramatic Central Mountain Range of Taiwan, including a clear view of Yushan (Jade Mountain), the highest peak in East Asia, as you fly south along the island's spine.

Southern Okinawa
Aerial views of Cape Kyan and the rugged southern coastline of Okinawa Main Island immediately after departure.
Pacific Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Philippine Sea and the transition into the East China Sea.
Central Mountain Range
The 'Backbone of Taiwan' features jagged peaks exceeding 3,000 meters, often rising above a sea of clouds.
Mount Jade (Yushan)
On clear days, spot the highest peak in Northeast Asia (3,952m) standing prominently in the range.
Pingtung Plain
Lush agricultural landscapes and tropical fruit orchards visible during the descent into Kaohsiung.
Sit on the left for the best mountain views. In the morning, the sun is behind you, illuminating the green slopes perfectly. During autumn and winter, the mountains are often clearer, though you may see a 'sea of clouds' effect against the high peaks.

Kerama Islands
Stunning views of Tokashiki and Zamami islands, known for their crystal-clear 'Kerama Blue' waters.
Sakishima Islands
Distant views of Miyako-jima and the surrounding coral atolls depending on the specific flight corridor.
Taiwan Strait
Observation of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, dotted with cargo ships and tankers.
West Coast Urbanization
The dense urban corridor stretching from Hsinchu down toward Tainan along the coastal plain.
Kaohsiung Port
An incredible view of the massive container terminals, the 85 Sky Tower, and the Love River during landing.
Choose the right side for coastal and island views. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 15 minutes of the flight when the plane maneuvers over the Kaohsiung harbor. In the afternoon, expect some glare from the sun reflecting off the Taiwan Strait.
