Which side of the plane to sit from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei) to Yancheng Airport (Yancheng)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Zhoushan Archipelago, the massive Yangtze River estuary, and the unique UNESCO-protected coastal wetlands near Yancheng.
Zhoushan Archipelago
An incredible cluster of hundreds of islands scattered across the East China Sea, including the famous Putuoshan.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
On clear days, you can spot one of the world's longest trans-oceanic bridges spanning the bay.
Yangtze River Mouth
The dramatic meeting point where the silt-heavy Yangtze River flows into the blue waters of the East China Sea.
Greater Shanghai Area
Distant views of the massive urban sprawl and the busy ports of the world's largest container hub.
Yancheng Wetlands
The vast, colorful salt marshes and protected mudflats that serve as a sanctuary for red-crowned cranes.
The right side is superior for coastal landmarks. For the best views of the Yancheng wetlands, keep your window shade up about 20 minutes before landing. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the islands and sea views without harsh reflections.
Taiwan Strait
The initial leg of the journey offers views of the busy shipping lanes between Taiwan and mainland China.
Wenzhou Coastline
As the flight approaches mainland China, the densely populated urban areas of Wenzhou and its surrounding mountains are visible.
Zhejiang Highlands
Lush, rolling green hills and rugged peaks of the southeastern coastal mountains.
Jiangsu Water Towns
During descent, the landscape shifts to a patchwork of canals and rice paddies characteristic of the Yangtze Delta.
Sit on the left if you prefer seeing the transition from the rugged mountains of Zhejiang to the flat, canal-crossed plains of Jiangsu. Afternoon flights may experience some glare from the sun on this side.
