Riau Archipelago
A stunning bird's-eye view of Bintan and Batam islands shortly after departing Changi Airport.
South China Sea Atolls
Glimpses of isolated reefs and turquoise atolls scattered throughout the deep blue sea.
Luzon Highlands
On very clear days, the northern mountains of the Philippines can be seen in the distant east.
Taiwan Central Range
The highlight of the trip, featuring peaks like Yushan (Jade Mountain) rising above the clouds during arrival.
Taoyuan Tablelands
The unique landscape of ponds and agricultural fields surrounding TPE airport just before landing.
The right side is essential for seeing Taiwan's 3,000-meter peaks. Choose a morning flight for the best lighting on the mountains; by afternoon, they are often obscured by clouds. This side also avoids direct sun for the majority of the journey, making it more comfortable for photography.

Singapore Skyline
Clear views of the Marina Bay Sands and the Central Business District depending on the takeoff direction.
Vietnamese Coast
Views of the rugged coastline near Da Nang and the South China Sea horizon during the mid-flight cruise.
Hainan Island
The southern tip of China's largest island is often visible to the far left on clear days.
Taiwan Strait
Watch for the dense shipping traffic and offshore wind farms as the aircraft approaches the western coast of Taiwan.
Taichung Port
The massive industrial infrastructure and port facilities of central Taiwan are visible during the descent.
Sit on the left for daytime flights to spot the Vietnamese coastline. If you are flying in the late afternoon, this side will experience significant sun glare as you head north-northeast. For the best views of Singapore's skyline, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze.
