Which side of the plane to sit from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan) to Taipei Songshan Airport (Taipei)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Fujian mountain ranges and the iconic final approach into Taipei Songshan, which often features views of the Tamsui River and the Taipei 101 skyline.
Wuhan Urban Core
Panoramic views of the Three Towns of Wuhan and the convergence of the Yangtze and Han Rivers.
Wuyi Mountains
Dramatic rocky peaks and tea-growing valleys of the southern Wuyi range.
Fuzhou Cityscape
A clear view of the capital of Fujian province situated along the Min River.
Taiwan Strait
The vast expanse of water between the mainland and Taiwan, often dotted with cargo ships.
Tamsui River
The winding river that guides the aircraft directly into the heart of the Taipei basin.
Taipei 101
A frequent sighting of the world-famous skyscraper during the low-altitude final approach to Songshan.
This is the premier side for photography. On final approach to Songshan Airport, the plane flies very low over the city; be ready with your camera about 5-10 minutes before landing to capture Taipei 101. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Taiwan landscape on this side.
Yangtze River Delta
Aerial view of the massive Yangtze River system winding through the Hubei plains shortly after takeoff.
Poyang Lake
Clear views of China's largest freshwater lake and its intricate wetland systems in Jiangxi province.
Lushan National Park
The historic and mist-covered peaks of Mount Lu, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Northern Fujian Forests
Dense, mountainous forest terrain that characterizes the border between Jiangxi and Fujian provinces.
Taiwan Northern Coast
Rugged cliffs and the blue waters of the East China Sea as the plane nears the island.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is excellent for seeing the expansive water bodies of central China. During the descent into Songshan, you may see the northern mountains of Yangmingshan if the flight path approaches from the north.
