Which side of the plane to sit from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei) to Ningbo Lishe International Airport (Ninbo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the northern tip of Taiwan after takeoff and an incredible bird's-eye view of the Zhoushan Archipelago during the approach into Ningbo.

Yangmingshan National Park
Spectacular views of the dormant volcanic peaks and lush green ridges north of Taipei immediately after departure.
Keelung Harbor
Look down at one of Taiwan's busiest ports and the iconic Keelung Islet standing solitary in the blue waters.
Zhoushan Archipelago
An stunning cluster of hundreds of islands, including Putuoshan, visible during the final descent into Ningbo.
Hangzhou Bay
The vast waters of the bay where the Qiantang River meets the East China Sea, often bustling with cargo ships.
The right side is essential for viewing the Zhoushan islands, which is the scenic peak of this route. Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur when photographing the archipelago. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses, though the lighting on the islands during descent is often breathtaking.

Tamsui River Estuary
View the winding river where it meets the sea at the edge of the Taipei basin shortly after takeoff.
Matsu Islands
Distant views of the Matsu archipelago scattered across the Taiwan Strait during the mid-flight segment.
Zhejiang Coastal Ranges
The rugged, mist-covered mountains of southern Zhejiang province as the aircraft crosses into mainland airspace.
Sit on the left for sunset views if flying in the late afternoon. During the descent, keep an eye out for the dense urban sprawl of Wenzhou and Taizhou along the coastline. High-altitude clouds often form over the Taiwan Strait, so morning flights generally offer the clearest visibility of the water and mainland entrance.
