Taipei 101
Unmatched views of the iconic skyscraper and the Xinyi District immediately after takeoff.
Taiwan Strait
A clear view of the maritime traffic and the transition from the island to the mainland.
Xiamen Island
Detailed views of Gulangyu Island and the modern skyline of coastal Fujian.
Nanling Mountains
The rugged, forested mountain ranges that define the border of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Nanning Urban Sprawl
The rapid expansion of the 'Green City' becomes visible during the descent into Wuxu.
For morning flights, the sun will be on the left (south) side, which may cause glare; try to book an afternoon flight for better lighting. Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of Taipei 101 during the initial climb.

Fujian Highlands
Endless rolling green hills and tea-growing regions in the interior of Fujian province.

The right side is excellent for seeing the unique karst mountains of Guangxi during the descent. It is also the 'shadow' side during the day, meaning less glare for photography when flying westward.
