RMQ → MXZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport (Taichung) to Meixian Airport (Meixian)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the rugged transition from the Taiwan Strait into the mountainous terrain of eastern Guangdong, including the scenic Lianhua Mountain range.
Miaoli Coastline
Clear views of the western Taiwan shoreline and offshore wind farms immediately following departure from Taichung.
Lianhua Mountains
Dramatic views of the forested mountain ridges that define the border between Fujian and Guangdong provinces.
Hakka Architecture
Look closely during the final approach to MXZ for the circular and square shapes of traditional Tulou or Weilong houses.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to witness the sun illuminating the Guangdong mountains. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline near Chaozhou for the best contrast between sea and peaks.
Taiwan Strait Crossing
Expansive views of the maritime corridor between Taiwan and mainland China shortly after takeoff.
Shantou Urban Area
The dense coastal urban sprawl of the Shantou and Jieyang regions visible during the mid-flight descent phase.
Han River Lowlands
Fertile agricultural plains and meandering river tributaries south of Meizhou.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. Watch for the cargo ships dotting the strait, which are most visible under clear skies at midday.
