WUHTPE

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most dramatic views of Poyang Lake after departure and the picturesque northern coastline of Taiwan upon descent into Taoyuan.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏞️

Poyang Lake

View China's largest freshwater lake, which undergoes dramatic seasonal changes in water level and shape.

⛰️

Mount Lushan

Spot the legendary mist-shrouded peaks of Lushan National Park shortly after leaving Hubei province.

🌊

East China Sea

Vast turquoise waters as the flight transitions from the mainland toward the island of Taiwan.

🏙️

Taipei Coastline

Catch glimpses of the rugged northern tip of Taiwan and the Tamsui River mouth during the final descent.

Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting over the Jiangxi landscape. Watch closely about 20 minutes after takeoff for the sprawling Poyang Lake basin. Check the TPE arrival direction as northern approaches offer better views of the Taipei basin.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Nanchang Skyline

The capital of Jiangxi province is often visible to the south with its dense urban layout and the Gan River.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountains

Fly over the southern sections of this UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic tea-growing valleys.

🌊

Taiwan Strait

Observe the busy shipping lanes and the expansive body of water separating the mainland from Taiwan.

🏖️

Taoyuan Coast

As the plane banks for its final approach, view the industrial and agricultural landscape of western Taiwan.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Taiwan Strait. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline near Taoyuan for interesting patterns of fish ponds and industrial hubs visible in the Hsinchu and Taoyuan area.
