Which side of the plane to sit from Wenzhou Longwan International Airport (Wenzhou) to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of the northern Taiwan landscape, including the lush Yangmingshan mountains and the Taipei metropolitan skyline during the approach phase.
Wenzhou Cityscape
Panoramic view of the rapidly expanding urban center of Wenzhou and its industrial ports.
Yangmingshan National Park
Lush green volcanic peaks and rolling hills situated just north of the Taipei basin.
Taipei 101
On clear days, the iconic skyscraper is visible standing tall among the Taipei city skyline during descent.
Keelung Harbor
A bird's eye view of one of Taiwan's most important and scenic natural deep-water ports.
Taoyuan Wetlands
Diverse coastal ecosystems and ponds that characterize the landscape immediately surrounding the airport.
The right side is essential for the approach into TPE. For the best photography of Taipei 101 and the mountains, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Ensure your window is clean as the descent through the clouds over northern Taiwan is visually spectacular.
Ou River Estuary
Aerial view of the sprawling river mouth that defines the Wenzhou coastal landscape during takeoff.
Nanji Islands
A beautiful cluster of islands in the East China Sea known for their shell and algae biodiversity.
Maritime Corridors
Observation of busy shipping lanes with massive cargo vessels crossing between China and Taiwan.
Shimen Coastline
The first sight of Taiwan's rugged northern coastline as the plane crosses into Taiwanese airspace.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Zhejiang coastline during departure. If flying during the late afternoon, the left side avoids direct sunlight, making it easier to spot the Nanji Islands. Watch for the distinct change in water color near the Taiwan Strait.
