Which side of the plane to sit from Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport (Taichung) to Makung Airport (Makung)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Taiwan coastline during departure and provides a more comprehensive panorama of the Magong city area and the southern Penghu islands upon arrival.
Taichung Urban Landscape
Aerial views of the dense city center and the Xitun District skyscrapers immediately after takeoff.
Changhua Coastal Industry
Massive industrial parks and wind turbines lining the central-western coast of Taiwan.
Zhuoshui River Delta
The wide, silt-filled estuary where Taiwan's longest river meets the Taiwan Strait.
Southern Islets
Views of Wangan and other southern islands of the Penghu archipelago depending on the flight path.
Magong Harbor
A close-up view of the busy port, fishing boats, and the Guanyinting Rainbow Bridge during final approach.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Magong urban area. Late afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photography of the city and the harbor without direct sun glare. Watch for the 'Blue Cave' region if the pilot takes a more southerly route.
Gaomei Wetlands
The famous coastal wetland and its iconic line of white wind turbines near the departure airport.
Strait Shipping Lanes
Observation of international cargo ships and tankers navigating the narrow Taiwan Strait.
Penghu Great Bridge
The long, white bridge connecting Baisha and Xiyu islands is often visible during the descent.
Basalt Formations
The unique volcanic columnar basalt cliffs that define the northern Penghu coastline.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset over the Taiwan Strait on evening flights. It also provides better views of the northern islands like Baisha and the iconic Great Bridge if the aircraft approaches from the north.
