Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the northern Taiwan coastline upon departure and a unique bird's-eye view of the Matsu Islands shortly before landing in Fuzhou.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌁

Tamsui River Mouth

The scenic northern tip of Taiwan where the Tamsui River meets the East China Sea.

🏝️

Matsu Islands

A clear view of the Nangan and Beigan islands, which are strategically located just off the mainland coast.

🚢

Changle Coastline

The rugged and industrial coastline of the Changle District as the aircraft aligns with the runway.

☁️

East China Sea Horizon

Wide-angle views of the horizon where the Taiwan Strait meets the open East China Sea.

The right side is the 'money side' for spotting the Matsu archipelago. Aim for a morning flight for the best illumination of these islands. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing to keep the engine out of your island photos.

Left Side Highlights
7.3
🏙️

Taoyuan Cityscape

Dense urban architecture of Taoyuan and northern Taiwan immediately following takeoff from TPE.

🌊

Taiwan Strait

The expansive blue waters of the strait, often filled with cargo ships and fishing vessels.

🏞️

Min River Delta

The complex network of silt-rich waterways where the Min River empties into the sea near Fuzhou.

⛰️

Fujian Foothills

Lush, rolling mountains typical of the Fujian province visible during the final descent phase.

Choose this side for better views of the Taiwan landmass during climb-out. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, providing better lighting for photography of the Fujian coast.
