Xiamen Skyline
Clear views of the massive skyscrapers in Xiamen, China, appearing remarkably close to Kinmen's shore.
Kinmen Bridge
The 5.4km sea-crossing bridge connecting Kinmen Main Island to Little Kinmen (Lieyu) is easily visible.
Mashan Observation Post
The northernmost tip of Kinmen, historically used to monitor movements in the mainland waters.
Sorghum Fields
The patchwork of agricultural fields used for producing the famous Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor.
Cigu Wetland
Lush northern wetlands that serve as a vital habitat for migratory birds arriving from the mainland.
This is the best side for the iconic 'Two Sides' view. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the contrast between Kinmen's traditional red-tiled roofs and Xiamen's modern high-rises. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Xiamen skyline across the water.

Taichung Port
View the massive industrial infrastructure and offshore wind turbines immediately after takeoff.
The Taiwan Strait
A vast expanse of water where you can often spot large cargo vessels and fishing fleets below.
Liaolo Bay
A deep crescent-shaped bay on Kinmen's southern coast, known for its strategic history and sandy beaches.
Mt. Taiwu
Look for the granite peaks of Kinmen's highest point as you approach the island's southern region.
Sit toward the back of the cabin to keep the wing out of your photos of the Taiwan coastline. The morning light is gentler on this side, making it ideal for capturing the deep blues of the Taiwan Strait without harsh glare.
