Which side of the plane to sit from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei) to Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport (Quanzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of Taiwan's western industrial coastline upon departure and offers a detailed perspective of the Jinjiang urban sprawl and southern Fujian bays during the final approach.
Taoyuan Coastline
Aerial views of the western Taiwan shoreline featuring massive wind turbines and industrial ports immediately after takeoff.
Strait Shipping Lanes
Clear views of the busy maritime traffic and cargo vessels navigating the narrow Taiwan Strait.
Shenhu Bay
The picturesque crescent-shaped coastline of Jinjiang featuring sandy beaches and traditional fishing clusters.
Jinjiang Cityscape
A close-up view of the dense urban development and sports manufacturing hubs as the plane aligns for the runway.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness the sunset over the horizon of the Asian mainland. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing for the best shots of the Jinjiang coastal geography.
Tamsui River Mouth
A distant view of Northern Taiwan's major waterway and the Taipei Basin during the initial ascent.
Quanzhou Bay Bridge
A spectacular view of the massive cross-sea bridge spanning across Quanzhou Bay during the descent.
Chongwu Ancient Town
If the flight path hugs the coast, the unique stone-walled coastal fortress is visible to the north.
Quanzhou Port
Massive container terminals and shipping infrastructure that highlight the region's historical role in the Maritime Silk Road.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the glare of the sun over the water. It offers the best angle for spotting the Quanzhou Bay Bridge, which is the most iconic modern landmark on this route.
