Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the southeastern Chinese coastline and the vast Taiwan Strait, featuring a mix of major coastal cities and island geography.
Huizhou & Daya Bay
Views of the industrial powerhouses and the complex coastline of the eastern Pearl River Delta.
Shantou Coastline
Observation of the Han River delta and the scenic Nanao Island near the Guangdong-Fujian border.
Xiamen Special Economic Zone
Clear views of Xiamen Island, Gulangyu, and the modern skyline along the Taiwan Strait.
Taiwan Strait
The expansive blue horizon of the strait, often dotted with cargo ships and fishing fleets.
Pingtan Island
The large island south of Fuzhou, visible during the final descent, known for its wind farms.
The right side is superior for coastal views. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photography of the Xiamen and Shantou coastlines. During the descent into FOC, watch for the coastal wind turbines and the unique geography of the Fujian shoreline.
Guangzhou Metropolis
Aerial view of the sprawling Pearl River Delta urban cluster and Baiyun Mountain immediately after takeoff.
Wanlv Lake
The largest man-made lake in Southern China, known for its deep turquoise waters in Heyuan.
Fujian Highlands
Dense, mist-covered mountain ranges of western Fujian, showcasing lush sub-tropical forests.
Min River System
The intricate winding path of the Min River as it cuts through the mountains towards Fuzhou.
Sit on the left for inland scenery and mountain vistas. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the harsh afternoon sun reflecting off the clouds. Look for the massive Wanlv Lake approximately 20 minutes into the flight.
