Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a continuous panorama of the Chinese coastline, featuring major landmarks like the Yangtze River Delta and the Fujian mountains, followed by a scenic approach into Kaohsiung.

Right Side Highlights

🌅

Shandong Coastline

Vibrant views of the Qingdao coastline and its distinctive red-roofed architecture upon takeoff.

🌉

Yangtze River Estuary

The massive scale of the Yangtze meeting the sea, often filled with thousands of shipping vessels.

🏝️

Zhoushan Archipelago

A stunning collection of islands scattered across the East China Sea near Ningbo.

🏙️

Xiamen & Kinmen

Clear views of the Xiamen skyline and the strategically located Kinmen island group.

🚤

Taiwan Strait

Observation of one of the world's busiest maritime trade routes throughout the mid-flight.

The right side is superior for coastal sightseeing. During afternoon flights, you can witness a spectacular sunset over the Taiwan Strait. Look out for the massive bridge networks and port facilities near Shanghai and Ningbo mid-way through the flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

The Yellow Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue waters shortly after departing the Shandong Peninsula.

⛰️

Taiwan Central Range

On the descent, catch glimpses of the high peaks that form the backbone of Taiwan.

🏙️

West Coast Corridor

Aerial views of northern and central Taiwanese cities like Taoyuan and Taichung as you fly south.

🚢

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. This side is better for observing the proximity of the mountains to the coastal plains as the plane aligns for its landing at KHH.
