Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Victoria to Kaohsiung. Left seats win overall because the departure scenery from Victoria is more visually dramatic and accessible—the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Olympic Mountains are immediately visible during climb-out. While the landing approach into Kaohsiung favors right seats, the takeoff experience is more consistently rewarding.
