Taipei Cityscape
Aerial view of Taipei 101 and the dense Xinyi District immediately after takeoff from Songshan.
Tamsui River
The winding river path leading toward the Taiwan Strait and the Guanyin Mountain landscape.
Fujian Coastline
The rugged and indented coastline of mainland China as the flight crosses the Taiwan Strait.
Poyang Lake
Potential views of China's largest freshwater lake depending on the specific flight corridor.
Central Plains
The vast agricultural patchwork of Henan province stretching toward the horizon.
Fen River Valley
The strategic waterway that has defined Shanxi's geography for millennia during the final descent.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly illuminated views of the Shanxi loess plateau. Keep your camera ready during the first 5 minutes of flight for iconic Taipei landmarks.

Keelung Harbor
Views of Taiwan's northernmost major port and the rocky coastline of Yehliu.
East China Sea
The deep blue expanse separating Taiwan from the mainland, often dotted with cargo ships.
Yellow River
The 'Mother River' of China appearing as a massive, silt-laden ribbon snaking through the plains.
Taihang Mountains
The dramatic eastern edge of the Loess Plateau, featuring sharp ridges and deep canyons.
Taiyuan Industrial Belt
The large-scale industrial infrastructure surrounding the outskirts of the provincial capital.
The right side is better for spotting the Yellow River crossing, which is a major highlight. In winter, the Taihang Mountains are often capped with snow, creating a stunning contrast against the loess soil. Expect afternoon sun glare when flying north-northwest toward Taiyuan.
