Which side of the plane to sit from Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan) to Hualien Airport (Hualien)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior scenic experience, featuring the sacred Mount Tai early in the flight and the majestic Central Mountain Range of Taiwan during the descent into Hualien.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Mount Tai

One of China's most sacred mountains, visible shortly after departure from Jinan under clear skies.

🏙️

Fuzhou City

Detailed views of the capital of Fujian and its urban sprawl as the route nears the coastline.

🚤

Min River

The winding waterway cutting through the lush, green valleys of Fujian province.

🌊

Taiwan Strait

The crossing between the Chinese mainland and the island of Taiwan, often filled with fishing vessels.

🏔️

Central Mountain Range

The 'spine' of Taiwan, featuring dramatic peaks over 3,000 meters high visible during descent.

🌲

Taroko Gorge Area

Aerial perspectives of the deep marble canyons and rugged terrain near the destination.

This side is best for mountain lovers. You will see Mount Tai shortly after takeoff and the rugged terrain of Fujian. During the final descent, the Central Mountain Range dominates the horizon. Afternoon flights offer warm, golden light on the peaks, which is perfect for photography.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Yellow Sea Coast

Early views of the Shandong Peninsula's eastern coastline as the flight heads south.

🚢

Yangtze Delta

Distant glimpses of the bustling shipping lanes and the vast mouth of the Yangtze River.

🏝️

Zhoushan Archipelago

A stunning array of islands and bridges off the coast of Zhejiang province.

🌊

Pacific Horizon

The vast blue expanse as the flight approaches Taiwan from the north, transitioning to deep ocean hues.

🗿

Qingshui Cliff

Dramatic marble cliffs dropping vertically into the sea just north of Hualien during final approach.

Opt for the left side if you want a clear view of the Qingshui Cliff on the final approach into Hualien. Morning flights are ideal for capturing the deep blues of the Pacific Ocean without the harsh glare of the setting sun. Sit away from the wing for the best views of the coastal drop-offs.
