Which side of the plane to sit from Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport (Taichung) to Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (Hangzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides superior views of the mainland coastline and a better angle to spot Hangzhou's famous West Lake during the descent.
Taichung Skyline
A brief view of Taichung's urban sprawl and the nearby hills shortly after takeoff.
Taiwan Strait
The vast expanse of water separating the island from the mainland during the mid-flight segment.
Fujian Coastal Mountains
The rugged and mountainous terrain of the Fujian province as the aircraft enters mainland airspace.
West Lake (Xihu)
Hangzhou's most famous landmark, visible as a green and blue oasis near the city center during descent.
Hangzhou New District
The rapidly developing skyscrapers and modern architecture of Hangzhou's western suburbs.
Best viewed during afternoon flights to avoid harsh morning glare. Keep a close eye out during the final 15 minutes of the flight for the distinctive greenery of West Lake nestled against the urban landscape.
Taiwan Central Range
Distant, hazy views of Taiwan's high peaks to the east during the initial climb.
Pingtan Island
One of the largest islands in the Taiwan Strait, often visible as a landmark near the mainland entry point.
Qiantang River
The wide, winding river known for its tidal bore, visible just before touchdown at Xiaoshan Airport.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A glimpse of the numerous islands scattered in the East China Sea to the northeast of the flight path.
Olympic Sports Center
The 'Lotus' stadium and the modern sports complex located on the south bank of the Qiantang River.
Morning flights offer the best lighting for the coastline and river features. If flying during the lunar mid-month, you might see the famous tidal bore patterns in the Qiantang River estuary.
