CYI

When landing at Chiayi (CYI), sit on the Left side for the best views. Landing on runway 18R means approaching from the north and flying south, so the left side of the aircraft faces east toward the foothills of the Central Mountain Range and the Alishan area. The right side only shows the flat Chiayi coastal plain, which is far less visually interesting. Notable sights include: Alishan mountain foothills, Central Mountain Range ridgeline, Chiayi city grid, Zengwen River valley.
