RMQMXZ

Our Recommendation
7.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

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.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

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.
