Which side of the plane to sit from Taiyuan Wusu Airport (Taiyuan) to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Yellow River crossing and the majestic Central Mountain Range of Taiwan during the descent.
Taihang Mountains
Dramatic ridges and canyons of the southern Taihang range shortly after takeoff.
The Yellow River
A clear view of the winding, silty waters of China's second-longest river near Zhengzhou.
Taiwan Strait
The wide expanse of the strait separating the mainland from the island of Taiwan.
Central Mountain Range
Breathtaking views of Taiwan's high-altitude peaks, including Xueshan, often poking through the clouds.
Taoyuan Coastline
The industrial wind turbines and wetlands of western Taiwan during the final approach.
The right side is essential for seeing the Yellow River and the dramatic arrival into Taiwan. For the best views of the Central Mountain Range, ensure your flight is scheduled for midday or afternoon when the clouds typically sit lower than the peaks.
Taiyuan Urban Landscape
Aerial views of the Fen River winding through the industrial and residential heart of Taiyuan.
North China Plain
Vast agricultural geometric patterns stretching across Henan and Anhui provinces.
Yangtze River Delta
Glimpses of the dense canal networks and urban clusters near Hangzhou and Ningbo.
East China Sea
The transition from land to sea, often dotted with massive cargo ships near the coast.
Northern Taiwan Coastline
The rugged cliffs and green hills of the Keelung area as the plane banks toward Taoyuan.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid direct glare while seeing the sunrise reflect off the East China Sea. This side is better for spotting the dense urban development of the Yangtze Delta region.
