Taipei to Singapore is 2,014 miles (3,241 km), a flight of about 4 hours 50 minutes.
The right side strings together more varied scenery across the whole flight: coastal Taiwan and the Taiwan Strait at departure, a possible glimpse of Vietnam's coastline during cruise, and a genuinely dramatic Singapore skyline finale on approach, whereas the left side's appeal is limited mainly to the brief mountain view right after takeoff.
Flight Path
Mid-flight the route crosses the open South China Sea, passing well west of the Philippines and occasionally within sight of Vietnam's south-central coastline near Nha Trang or the Con Dao islands on clear days; otherwise the cruise phase is largely featureless open ocean.

Takeoff from TSA
LEFTAs the aircraft climbs out of Songshan and banks south toward the Taiwan Strait corridor, the Taipei Basin opens up with Yangmingshan's volcanic peaks and the forested Central Mountain Range foothills framing the city to the east. The right side, by contrast, only shows the flatter western coastal plain.
Landing at SIN
RIGHTOn final approach into Changi, the flight path runs along Singapore's eastern coast, putting the Marina Bay skyline, the port's container cranes, and the ship-choked Singapore Strait on the west-facing side of the aircraft. The east side mostly shows open water toward Indonesia's Riau islands with little to distinguish it.
