Which side of the plane to sit from Taipei Songshan Airport (Taipei) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side provides an unparalleled view of the Taipei city skyline and the iconic Taipei 101 shortly after takeoff from Songshan Airport, followed by clear views of the Fujian coastline during the approach into Fuzhou.
Taipei 101 & Xinyi District
Immediately after departure from TSA, look out for the world-famous skyscraper and the dense urban core of Taipei's financial district.
The Taiwan Strait
A vast expanse of blue water that separates the two landmasses, often dotted with cargo ships and fishing vessels.
Pingtan Island Wind Farms
As you approach the mainland, look for the massive offshore wind turbines near the coast of Fujian province.
Fujian Coastal Ranges
The rugged, hilly terrain of eastern China becomes visible as the plane descends toward Changle.
For the best experience, book a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Taipei skyline and the Fujian coast without harsh glare.
Yangmingshan National Park
View the lush, volcanic mountain ranges located just north of Taipei city immediately after takeoff.
Tamsui River Estuary
Watch the Tamsui River wind its way through the landscape before emptying into the East China Sea.
Matsu Islands
Depending on the specific flight path, you may spot the strategic and scenic Matsu archipelago in the middle of the strait.
Min River Delta
See the complex network of waterways where the Min River meets the sea near Fuzhou's airport.
Choose this side if you prefer natural landscapes over urban architecture. During morning flights, the lighting on the northern Taiwan mountains is spectacular, though you may face some direct sunlight during the westward crossing.
