CGO β†’ JJN

Our Recommendation
8.1

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic scenery as the flight crosses the Dabie Mountains and follows the rugged Wuyi Mountain range into Fujian, providing a spectacular view of China's southern highlands.

Right Side Highlights
8.1
πŸ”οΈ

Dabie Mountains

The first major mountain range encountered, marking the transition into the Yangtze River valley.

πŸ’§

Poyang Lake Distant View

Glance toward the horizon to see the edges of China's largest freshwater lake system.

πŸŒ„

Wuyi Mountains

The flight's highlight, featuring the UNESCO-listed Danxia landforms and lush tea-growing valleys.

🏞️

Min River Gorges

The winding river valleys of central Fujian as the terrain becomes increasingly vertical.

⛩️

Historic Quanzhou

Views of the ancient city’s sprawl and historic pagodas just before touching down at JJN.

The right side is the 'mountain side.' You will want to be vigilant during the mid-to-late section of the flight to catch the Wuyi Mountains. For photography, avoid late afternoon flights to prevent shooting directly into the sun, which can wash out the mountain textures.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
πŸ™οΈ

Zhengzhou Skyline

Aerial view of the Zhengzhou East Railway Station and the modern CBD during the initial climb.

🌾

North China Plain

A patchwork of agricultural fields and urban clusters stretching toward the horizon.

🌊

Huai River Basin

Crossing the geographic divide between Northern and Southern China with its complex network of canals.

πŸ”οΈ

Mount Huangshan

On clear days, the distant granite peaks of the Yellow Mountains may be visible to the east.

πŸŒ‰

Quanzhou Bay Bridge

A stunning view of the massive bridge spanning the bay during the final descent into Jinjiang.

Choose the left side for better views of the coastline and Quanzhou Bay as the plane aligns for landing. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the colors of the coastal waters and city architecture without glare.
