Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Shenzhen to Taipei. Right-side seats capture the more visually distinctive departure sequence over the Pearl River Delta and its coastal features. While the landing approach on the left offers good strait views, the takeoff experience from SZX provides more varied and interesting geography.

During takeoff from Baoan (SZX), sit on the Right side for the best views. SZX typically departs eastbound (Runway 07L/07R). Right-side seats face north across the Pearl River Delta toward Hong Kong and the South China Sea, offering views of the sprawling delta's water channels, industrial zones, and the coastline. Left seats face inland toward Guangdong's industrial hinterland with less distinctive visual interest. Notable sights include: Pearl River Delta waterways and islands, Hong Kong's New Territories across the border to the north, Shenzhen's coastal development strip, South China Sea horizon.

When landing at Chiang Kai Shek International (TPE), sit on the Left side for the best views. TPE (Taoyuan) typically lands westbound (Runway 05L/05R). Left-side seats face south during approach, offering views of the Taiwan Strait, the northern Taiwan coast, and the descent path over Taoyuan's surrounding agricultural plains and reservoirs. Right seats face inland toward central Taiwan's mountains with less distinctive approach features. Notable sights include: Taiwan Strait waters, Taoyuan's reservoir system and agricultural plains, northern Taiwan coastal development, Yangmingshan volcanic plateau to the south.

The flight from Baoan (SZX) to Chiang Kai Shek International (TPE) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Taiwan Strait at roughly 24°N. Midway, you'll see the strait's open waters with occasional fishing vessel activity. The Penghu (Pescadores) Islands may be visible to the south as small dark specks on the horizon depending on altitude and visibility. The flight maintains cruising altitude of 25,000-30,000 feet across the strait with no major geographic features directly beneath until approaching Taiwan's airspace.
