Which side of the plane to sit from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei) to Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Chinese mainland coastline, the massive Yangtze River crossing, and the diverse topography of Fujian and Jiangsu provinces.
Taipei Urban View
Dramatic views of the Tamsui River and the urban sprawl of New Taipei City immediately following takeoff from Taoyuan.
Fujian Coastal Hills
Rugged, emerald-green mountain ranges and jagged inlets as the flight path crosses into the Chinese mainland airspace.
Yangtze River Delta
A breathtaking aerial view of the Yangtze River, showcasing its immense width and the heavy maritime traffic near the delta.
Taihu Lake
Visibility of one of China's largest freshwater lakes, surrounded by the dense urban clusters of Suzhou and Wuxi.
Shandong Agricultural Plains
Geometric patterns of vast farmland and rural villages as the aircraft begins its descent into the Jinan basin.
Book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, which perfectly illuminates the mainland landscape without glare. Mid-cabin seats provide the best balance of view and stability over the Taiwan Strait.
North Taiwan Coastline
Bird's-eye views of the unique rock formations and coastal cliffs of the northern tip of Taiwan.
East China Sea
Expansive vistas of deep blue waters, often dotted with massive cargo ships and fishing fleets traversing international lanes.
Lianyungang Port
Distant views of the massive industrial port infrastructure and breakwaters along the Jiangsu coastline.
Mount Tai Silhouette
During the final approach into Jinan, look southward to spot the silhouette of the sacred Mount Tai rising from the horizon.
Yellow River Bend
Glimpses of the silty, golden-hued Yellow River as it snakes its way toward the Bohai Sea near the end of the journey.
Ideal for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Pacific. On the approach to Yaoqiang Airport, watch for the distinct color change of the Yellow River, which is a hallmark of the Shandong landscape.
