Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the dense urban landscape of Tianjin on departure, the rugged coastal terrain of Fujian, and a spectacular panoramic view of the Kaohsiung harbor and city skyline during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Tianjin Cityscape

A clear view of the Hai River and the urban sprawl of northern China's major port city.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountains

The misty, jagged peaks of Fujian province visible as the flight tracks south.

🏝️

Penghu Islands

The unique basalt formations and turquoise waters of the Pescadores in the Taiwan Strait.

🚢

Kaohsiung Harbor

One of the world's busiest ports, featuring massive container ships and the 85 Sky Tower.

🏖️

Sizihwan Bay

The beautiful coastline and sunset spot of Kaohsiung visible just before touchdown.

Choose the right side for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Taiwan Strait. As the aircraft typically approaches Kaohsiung International Airport from the northwest, the right side provides the most iconic views of the city's harbor, Love River, and the skyscraper-heavy business district.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Bohai Bay

Expansive views of the northern Chinese sea shortly after departure from Tianjin.

🏙️

Shanghai Outskirts

Distant views of the Yangtze River Delta's massive industrial and urban footprint.

🏔️

Taiwan Central Range

The dramatic, cloud-piercing peaks of Taiwan's backbone visible during the descent.

🌾

Chianan Plain

The lush green agricultural heartland of western Taiwan as the plane nears Kaohsiung.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is particularly rewarding for seeing the morning sun hit the Central Mountain Range of Taiwan, providing excellent depth and shadows for photography during the final 30 minutes of flight.
