Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of the northern Taiwan coastline, the intricate island clusters of the East China Sea, and the sprawling Yangtze River Delta as you approach Nanjing.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏖️

Taiwan North Coast

Aerial perspectives of the Hsinchu and Miaoli coastlines immediately following departure.

🏝️

Zhoushan Archipelago

Distant views of the numerous islands scattered across the East China Sea near Ningbo.

🌉

Hangzhou Bay

If the flight path trends east, look for the massive infrastructure connecting the Shanghai-Ningbo region.

🚢

Yangtze River Delta

The immense network of canals, ships, and industrial hubs surrounding the mouth of the Yangtze River.

🏙️

Nanjing Approach

A panoramic view of the ancient capital's expansion and the massive Yangtze River bridges during descent.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight while capturing the coastal geography. Keep an eye out for the distinct change in water color where the Yangtze River meets the sea. For the best views of the Yangtze bridges during the Nanjing approach, a window seat on the right is highly recommended.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Taiwan Strait

A clear view of the turquoise waters separating Taiwan from the mainland shortly after takeoff from Taichung.

🏙️

Fuzhou Coastline

Visuals of the Min River delta and the urban landscape of Fuzhou as the flight makes landfall in Fujian Province.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountain Foothills

Rolling green hills and tea plantation regions in the southern interior of the mainland route.

🌅

Inland Sunset

On late afternoon flights, this side offers spectacular views of the sun setting over the Chinese mainland.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset, though glare can be intense. This side is better for observing the rugged inland topography of Fujian and Anhui provinces. Ensure you are seated ahead of or well behind the wing to see the river valleys clearly.
