TPESHE

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the East China coastline, including the Yangtze River Delta and the mountainous Shandong Peninsula.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Northern Taiwan Coast

Dramatic views of Yangmingshan National Park and the Tamsui River mouth immediately after takeoff from TPE.

🌊

Yangtze River Estuary

The massive scale of the Yangtze River meeting the East China Sea, showing distinct sediment color shifts.

🚢

Shanghai & Ningbo Ports

View the world's busiest shipping lanes and the expansive infrastructure of the East China coastline.

⛰️

Shandong Peninsula

Aerial perspective of the rugged Laoshan mountains and the coastal city of Qingdao's unique architecture.

🌿

Panjin Red Beach

During autumn descent, look for the unique crimson-colored saline wetlands of the Liaohe River Delta.

Sit on the left for a sunset view on evening flights. On clear days, the transition from the turquoise East China Sea to the industrial yellow of the Bohai Sea is visually striking. Aim for a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion over the coastal landmarks.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏝️

Matsu Islands

View of the strategic archipelago off the coast of Fujian shortly after reaching cruise altitude.

🌋

Jeju Island (Distant)

On very clear days, the silhouette of South Korea's Hallasan volcano may be visible across the Yellow Sea.

⚓

Dalian & Lushun

Excellent views of the Liaodong Peninsula's tip, including the historic port of Dalian and its modern skyscrapers.

🏗️

Liaoning Industrial Heartland

Watch the dense urban sprawl and industrial development as the flight turns inland toward Shenyang.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides the best perspective of the Liaodong Peninsula's geography during the final descent phase into SHE. Keep an eye out for large-scale offshore wind farms in the Bohai Gulf.
