TPE → XUZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei) to Xuzhou Guanyin Airport (Xuzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the dramatic transition from the deep blue of the Taiwan Strait to the intricate island networks of the Zhoushan Archipelago and the vast Yangtze River Delta.
Northern Taiwan Coast
Stunning views of the Tamsui River mouth and the rocky coastline of the northern tip of Taiwan.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A breathtaking look at the thousands of small islands and busy shipping lanes near the Ningbo-Zhoushan port.
Yangtze River Delta
The massive scale of the Yangtze River as it empties into the sea, featuring enormous suspension bridges.
Hongze Lake
A clear view of the distinctively shaped Hongze Lake, the fourth largest freshwater lake in China, just before landing.
North China Plain
The geometric patterns of the vast agricultural farmlands and irrigation canals typical of the Xuzhou region.
The right side is essential for seeing the coastline and the Yangtze River. Watch for the sediment-heavy waters of the Yangtze mixing with the East China Sea. For late afternoon flights, this side offers beautiful reflected light on the numerous rivers and lakes of Jiangsu province.
Taipei Urban Landscape
Upon departure from TPE, enjoy views of the dense Taipei basin and the iconic Yangmingshan National Park.
Zhejiang Highlands
Glimpses of the rolling green hills and rugged interior mountains of the Fujian-Zhejiang border region.
Taihu Lake
A vast view of one of China's largest freshwater lakes, known for its limestone rocks and scenic islands.
Nanjing Outskirts
As the flight descends, the sprawling suburbs and industrial hubs surrounding Nanjing come into view.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides the best perspective of the inland mountain ranges of Zhejiang province and the massive Taihu Lake. During landing in Xuzhou, you may see the southern industrial districts of the city.
