Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Taipei to Chongqing. While takeoff offers decent strait views, the landing descent into Chongqing provides far more dramatic and visually distinctive scenery—the Yangtze River gorges and limestone mountains are among the most striking geographical features on this route. Left side captures this better.

During takeoff from Chiang Kai Shek International (TPE), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Taiwan Strait and the northern Taiwan coastline as the aircraft climbs northwestward. You'll see the urban sprawl of Taipei and the surrounding Taipei Basin receding below, with the strait opening up to the west. Notable sights include: Taipei city and Taipei Basin, Taiwan Strait (Formosa Strait), Keelung coastal area to the northeast, northern Taiwan mountain ridges.

When landing at Jiangbei (CKG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent into Chongqing. You'll see the Yangtze River's dramatic gorges and meanders as they approach the city, plus the mountainous terrain of central China that defines this region. Notable sights include: Yangtze River and its gorges, Chongqing urban area on the Yangtze peninsula, surrounding limestone mountains and ridges, Jialing River confluence.

The flight from Chiang Kai Shek International (TPE) to Jiangbei (CKG) takes 2h 15m.

The flight path crosses the Taiwan Strait, then passes over the Fujian coastal mountains and inland plateau regions of eastern China. Notable features include the Wuyi Mountains (Wuyi Shan) in northern Fujian, the Ganjiang River valley, and the transition from coastal lowlands to the mountainous interior of central China. The aircraft typically cruises over the Yangtze River valley region before beginning descent toward Chongqing.
