Which side of the plane to sit from Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport (Taichung) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a scenic overview of the Taiwan coastline during departure and offers the most dramatic views of the Min River estuary and the mountainous terrain of Fujian during the descent into Fuzhou.
Taichung Urbanscape
Panoramic views of Taichung city and the nearby Dajia River valley immediately after takeoff.
Western Taiwan Coast
Clear views of the Hsinchu and Miaoli coastlines as the aircraft reaches cruising altitude over the strait.
Taiwan Strait
The vast turquoise waters of the strait, often dotted with cargo ships and fishing vessels.
Min River Estuary
A spectacular view of the Minjiang flowing into the East China Sea, showing the unique silt patterns and river islands.
Fujian Highlands
The lush, rolling green mountains of Fujian province that frame the approach into Changle.
For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Fujian coastline. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing to capture the intricate waterways of the Min River delta. Avoid seats directly over the wing (usually rows 15-25) to ensure an unobstructed view of the geography.
Matsu Islands
The strategically significant Matsu archipelago, including Nangan and Beigan, is often visible to the north.
Maritime Corridors
High-density shipping lanes filled with international container ships heading toward major regional ports.
Fuzhou Port
Aerial views of the massive industrial port infrastructure and container terminals near Changle.
Changle Shoreline
The rugged rocky outcrops and sandy beaches of the Changle district during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for spotting the Matsu Islands mid-flight. During the winter months, look for the 'Sea of Clouds' effect that often forms over the strait due to cold air masses. If landing from the north, this side offers a better view of the Fuzhou city outskirts and industrial development zones.
