Which side of the plane to sit from Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport (Taichung) to Ningbo Lishe International Airport (Ninbo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views, featuring the dramatic northern coastline of Taiwan followed by the spectacular Zhoushan Archipelago near Ningbo, which is one of the most scenic island clusters in the world.
Northern Taiwan Coast
Clear views of the mountainous northern tip of Taiwan and potentially the Taipei basin in the distance.
Diaoyu Islands
On very clear days and specific flight paths, these remote islands may be visible in the far distance.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A stunning collection of over 1,000 islands appearing like green jewels in the East China Sea.
Ningbo-Zhoushan Port
One of the world's busiest container ports, featuring massive cranes and hundreds of vessels.
Sea Bridges
Look for the massive engineering marvels of the bridges connecting the Zhoushan islands to the mainland.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. For the best experience, choose a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the Zhoushan Archipelago. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the islands, while evening flights may catch the shimmering lights of the massive Beilun port facility.
Taichung Coastal Strip
Aerial view of Taichung's industrial port and urban density immediately after takeoff.
Taiwan Strait
The expansive waters separating the island from the mainland, often filled with cargo ships.
Fujian Coastline
Distant views of the rugged, indented coastline of Fujian Province and its many small bays.
Zhejiang Foothills
Green, rolling mountains of southern Zhejiang as the plane begins its descent into Ningbo.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides a better view of the mainland Chinese coastline as you approach the destination. Keep an eye out for the Min River estuary near Fuzhou if visibility is high.
