Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, beginning with the sacred Mount Tai shortly after takeoff, followed by major lake systems in Eastern China, and concluding with a stunning panorama of the Kaohsiung industrial harbor during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Jinan Skyline

Immediate views of the 'City of Springs' and the Yellow River snaking through the landscape after departure.

⛰️

Mount Tai (Tai Shan)

The most sacred of the Five Great Mountains of China is clearly visible to the west shortly after takeoff.

💧

Hongze and Taihu Lakes

Massive freshwater lakes in the Jiangsu province that appear like giant mirrors on the landscape.

🏖️

Xiamen Coastline

The beautiful urban beaches and mountainous terrain of the Fujian coast before the flight crosses the strait.

⚓

Kaohsiung Harbor

The iconic 85 Sky Tower and the bustling container port are best viewed from the right during the final descent.

Sit on the right for the iconic view of Mount Tai approximately 10-15 minutes into the flight. For the landing in Kaohsiung, the right side usually provides a spectacular view of the Port of Kaohsiung and Cijin Island, especially during sunset flights when the city lights begin to twinkle against the sea.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Yellow Sea Coast

Aerial views of the rugged Shandong coastline and the blue waters of the Yellow Sea as the flight heads south.

🌉

Yangtze River Delta

A massive network of shipping lanes, bridges, and the sediment-rich waters of the Yangtze entering the East China Sea.

🏝️

Zhoushan Archipelago

A cluster of hundreds of small islands off the coast of Ningbo, often visible through the clouds.

🚢

Taiwan Strait Traffic

Dozens of cargo ships and tankers navigating one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.

⛰️

Taiwan Central Range

Distant views of the towering peaks of Taiwan's central mountains as the plane turns toward the southern tip.

Choose a morning flight for the best light on the coastline without the glare of the afternoon sun. On clear days, the contrast between the green mountains of Taiwan and the deep blue strait is most vivid during the final 30 minutes of the flight. Bring a camera with a zoom lens to capture the bridge architecture near Shanghai.
