Which side of the plane to sit from Taichung Ching Chuang Kang Airport (Taichung) to Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Chinese mainland coastline, including the cityscapes of Xiamen and Shantou, and a closer look at the industrial heart of the Pearl River Delta.
Taichung Coastal Front
Direct view of the massive wind turbines and the industrial scale of Taichung Harbor.
Xiamen & Kinmen
The dense urban layout of Xiamen and the unique proximity to the island of Kinmen.
Shantou Coastline
Rugged coastline and sandy beaches of eastern Guangdong province.
Daya Bay
A massive industrial complex and nuclear power plant visible along the coast.
Shenzhen Cityscape
Panoramic views of the sprawling urban density and skyscrapers during the final approach.
Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Fujian and Guangdong coastlines without sun glare. Keep an eye out for Xiamen's dense skyline approximately 30 minutes after departure. This side is consistently more scenic for urban and coastal geography.
Central Mountain Range
Distant views of Taiwan's high peaks as the plane climbs out of Taichung.
Penghu Archipelago
Clusters of volcanic islands visible in the Taiwan Strait depending on the flight corridor.
South China Sea
Vast expanse of water filled with busy international shipping lanes and cargo vessels.
Dapeng Peninsula
Scenic views of the lush greenery and rocky shores of eastern Shenzhen during descent.
Hong Kong Skyline
A distant glimpse of the iconic New Territories and Hong Kong skyline to the south.
Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Look for the distinct Penghu Islands shortly after takeoff and the lush Dapeng Peninsula as you descend into the Pearl River Delta. In winter, clear skies are more common for mountain visibility.
