Which side of the plane to sit from Sunan Shuofang International Airport (Wuxi) to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of inland features including Lake Tai immediately after takeoff and a more dramatic perspective of Taiwan's mountainous interior upon arrival.

Lake Tai (Taihu)
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, visible shortly after departing Wuxi.
Zhejiang Coastal Hubs
Bird's-eye view of the major industrial port cities like Ningbo and Wenzhou.
Taiwan Strait
The historic body of water separating the mainland from Taiwan, often dotted with cargo ships.
Central Mountain Range
The towering 'backbone' of Taiwan, featuring peaks over 3,000 meters visible during the approach.
Ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Taiwan Strait. On clear days, look specifically for the snow-capped peaks of Xueshan (Snow Mountain) as the plane begins its final approach.

Yangtze River Delta
Expansive views of the dense urban sprawl and canal networks between Wuxi and Shanghai.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A massive cluster of islands off the Ningbo coast, including the sacred Putuoshan.
East China Sea
Deep blue maritime vistas as the flight crosses the open water toward the island of Taiwan.
Northern Taiwan Coast
Dramatic views of the Fugui Cape and the rugged northern cliffs during the descent into Taoyuan.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the massive bridge networks connecting the islands of the East China Sea.
