Which side of the plane to sit from Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the famous Wuyi Mountains UNESCO site and the expansive river systems leading to the East China Sea.
Changsha Eastern Suburbs
Aerial view of the Liuyang River as the flight climbs away from Changsha Huanghua.
Poyang Lake Basin
Visible to the north is the vast, shimmering wetland landscape of China's largest freshwater lake area.
Mount Wuyi Peaks
Dramatic granite peaks and lush tea-growing valleys of the northern Wuyi Mountains UNESCO area.
Min River Meanders
The winding path of the Min River as it carves through the rugged terrain of northern Fujian.
East China Sea
On final approach, a wide panoramic view of the coastline and the blue waters of the Taiwan Strait.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Wuyishan peaks. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the southern sun and to catch the mist rising from the Fujian valleys, which creates a classic ink-wash painting aesthetic. Look for the distinct reddish Danxia landforms near the border of Jiangxi and Fujian.
Jinggang Mountains
The densely forested ridges of the southern Jiangxi border region, known for their deep green hues.
Fujian Hillside Villages
Traditional architectural clusters nestled within the narrow mountain valleys of central Fujian.
Fuzhou City Skyline
A close-up view of the urban sprawl of Fuzhou and its bridges crossing the Min River during descent.
Changle Coastline
The bustling shipping lanes and industrial ports near the airport as the plane turns for landing.
The right side is better for viewing the urban layout of Fuzhou during the descent. If the flight arrives from the south, you will get an excellent view of the Min River delta. Keep an eye out for the unique terraced farming on the hillsides during the mid-portion of the flight, which is more prominent on this side.
