Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more diverse view of the Chinese mainland, featuring the dramatic transition from the northern tip of Taiwan to the industrial and agricultural heartlands of Eastern and Northeastern China.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Northern Taiwan Coastline

Aerial views of the Tamsui River mouth and the rugged northern cliffs of Taiwan immediately after takeoff.

🏙️

Yangtze River Delta

The intricate network of canals, rivers, and urban sprawl surrounding the Shanghai and Jiangsu region.

🚢

Bohai Bay Activity

One of the world's busiest maritime corridors, featuring numerous cargo ships and offshore oil platforms.

🌾

Liaoning Plains

The vast, geometric agricultural patterns of the Northeast China Plain as the aircraft moves inland toward Changchun.

🏔️

Qianshan Mountains

The rugged terrain of the Thousand Lotuses Mountains visible as the plane traverses central Liaoning.

For afternoon flights, the left side avoids the direct glare of the sun, making it easier to photograph the coastline. This side is particularly impressive during the descent into Changchun as you pass over the industrial landscape of the northeast.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🌅

East China Sea Horizon

Expansive views of the ocean horizon, often featuring spectacular sunrises on morning departures from Taipei.

⚓

Liaodong Peninsula

The tip of the peninsula and the strategic port city of Dalian as the aircraft crosses the Bohai Strait.

🇰🇷

Distances toward Korea

On exceptionally clear days, the distant horizon hints at the western coastline of the Korean Peninsula across the Yellow Sea.

❄️

Jilin Forested Hills

The dense, dark forests of Jilin province which appear starkly white and crystalline during the winter months.

Select the right side for early morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Pacific. During winter, the right side provides excellent views of the frozen rivers and snow-covered landscapes of Jilin during the final approach into CGQ.
