Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers a chance to see the iconic Huangshan mountain range and the spectacular thousand-island layout of Lake Qiandao, along with northern Taiwan's volcanic landscapes.

Right Side Highlights

🌋

Yangmingshan

The volcanic peaks and lush green valleys of northern Taiwan's premier national park visible right after takeoff.

🏖️

Northeast Coast

The rugged cliffs and blue waters where the East China Sea meets the northern tip of Taiwan.

💧

Lake Qiandao

The 'Thousand Island Lake' in Zhejiang, featuring crystal blue waters dotted with countless emerald-green islands.

🏔️

Mount Huangshan

On clear days, see the granite peaks and jagged ridges of the Yellow Mountains, a world-renowned UNESCO site.

🏙️

Hefei Skyline

The expanding urban sprawl and industrial development of the Anhui provincial capital as you descend.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for nature lovers. Look out for Lake Qiandao approximately 40 minutes into the flight. For the best view of Mount Huangshan, ensure the weather is clear; these peaks are often shrouded in mist during the spring and early summer.

🏙️

Chao Lake

One of the largest freshwater lakes in China, marking the final approach into the Hefei region.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is best for those wanting to see the urban density of Taipei during departure and the expansive Chao Lake during the final descent into Hefei.
