Which side of the plane to sit from Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport (Taichung) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Fujian coastline, the urban landscape of Xiamen, and the lush inland mountain ranges of Southern China, all while benefiting from better lighting conditions for photography.

Central Mountain Range
A distant but impressive view of Taiwan's high peaks during the initial ascent phase.
Xiamen and Kinmen
The dense urban towers of Xiamen island and the nearby Kinmen islands are clearly visible during the coastal crossing.
Fujian Highlands
Lush, green undulating hills and tea-growing regions typical of the Fujian inland geography.
Meandering Rivers
The complex river systems of eastern Guangdong, including the Han River, winding through the landscape.
Baiyun Mountain
The 'lung' of Guangzhou city appearing just before landing, signaling the arrival at the airport.
The right side is ideal for photography as the sun is usually on the opposite side, preventing washed-out photos. Late afternoon flights offer a beautiful 'golden hour' glow over the Fujian mountains. Keep a close eye out about 25-30 minutes into the flight for the best views of Xiamen's skyline.

Immediate views of Taichung's urban layout and the coastal industrial zones upon departure.
Taiwan Strait
A vast expanse of deep blue water featuring busy international shipping lanes and fishing fleets.
Penghu Archipelago
On clear days and southerly routes, the scattered volcanic islands of Penghu are visible in the distance.
Shantou Coastline
Views of the industrial port city of Shantou as the aircraft crosses into Guangdong province.
Pearl River Estuary
The massive, silt-heavy waters of the Pearl River Delta meeting the South China Sea during descent.
Sit on the left for better views of the open sea and the initial climb out of Taichung. For midday flights, be aware that this side faces the sun, which may cause glare. It is the better side for viewing the southern sprawl of the Pearl River Delta during the final approach into CAN.
