Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the dramatic transition from the North China Plain to the Yangtze River Delta and provides the best views of Taiwan's Central Mountain Range upon arrival.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Yellow River Meanders

Shortly after takeoff from TNA, witness the massive Yellow River carving through the landscape of Shandong.

🏙️

Yangtze River Delta

A breathtaking view of the vast urban sprawl surrounding Shanghai and the massive estuary where the Yangtze meets the sea.

🏝️

Zhoushan Archipelago

Observe the cluster of islands in the East China Sea, often appearing as green gems amidst the blue water.

⛰️

Central Mountain Range

During the descent into Taichung, the left side faces the interior of Taiwan, showcasing the island's dramatic 3,000-meter peaks.

⚓

Taichung Skyline

A sweeping view of the Taichung urban area and its modern architecture during the final approach.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun which will be in the east. This side is particularly spectacular during the descent into RMQ, as the plane often flies parallel to the high mountains of Taiwan's interior. Look for the massive bridges spanning the Yangtze River mid-flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Shandong Highlands

Rugged hilly terrain south of Jinan, offering a contrast to the flat coastal plains.

🏞️

Wuyi Mountains

Lush, mist-covered mountain ranges in Fujian province, known for their unique rock formations.

🏙️

Xiamen Coastline

Views of the highly developed coastal cities of Quanzhou and Xiamen before heading over open water.

🚢

Taiwan Strait

A view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, often dotted with cargo ships and fishing vessels.

🎡

Taichung Coastal Plain

As you land, view the industrial parks, wind turbines, and the port area of western Taiwan.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Taiwan Strait. It provides a better view of the mainland Chinese coastline and the maritime activity in the strait. In clear weather, the Wuyi Mountains offer beautiful textured landscapes in the late afternoon light.
