Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a premier view of Taiwan's rugged northern coastline and provides the most iconic perspective of the Taipei skyline, including Taipei 101, during the final approach into the city center.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Dongtou Archipelago

A cluster of scenic islands and coastal bridges visible immediately after departing Wenzhou.

🌊

East China Sea

Vast stretches of blue water where the transition from mainland China to the Taiwan Strait occurs.

🗿

Yehliu Geopark

The distinct yellow-brown promontory of the northern Taiwan coast, famous for its unique rock formations.

⚓

Keelung Harbor

A major deep-water port surrounded by verdant mountains as the aircraft begins its descent.

🗼

Taipei 101

The world-famous skyscraper stands out prominently against the urban landscape as the plane turns for the final approach.

For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left. During late afternoon flights, the sun is behind you, illuminating the Taipei skyline perfectly. Keep your camera ready as soon as you cross the coastline near Keelung; the transition from sea to dense urban city happens very quickly.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌄

Wenzhou Coastline

Aerial views of the industrial and natural blend of the southern Zhejiang coast upon takeoff.

🛶

Tamsui River

The wide river mouth where the Tamsui meets the sea, marking the entry into the Taipei Basin.

⛰️

Guanyin Mountain

An extinct volcano that serves as a landmark for pilots entering the northern flight corridor.

🏨

The Grand Hotel

The massive, red, traditional Chinese-style architecture of this iconic hotel is visible just seconds before landing.

🏙️

Beitou & Shilin

Dense residential districts and the lush green slopes of the Yangmingshan foothills.

The right side is excellent for viewing the Tamsui River and the majestic Grand Hotel right before touchdown. If flying during the morning, this side provides the best lighting for the mainland China coastline before the aircraft turns toward the sea.
