Which side of the plane to sit from Changzhou Benniu Airport (Changzhou) to Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (Xiamen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the transition from the Yangtze Delta's water networks to the rugged Fujian coastline, including the iconic Kinmen Island during the final approach into Xiamen.
Taihu Lake
Early in the flight, catch a glimpse of the eastern shore of China's third-largest freshwater lake.
Zhejiang Highlands
Aerial views of the rolling green peaks and tea plantations in southern Zhejiang province.
Quanzhou Bay Bridge
A massive cross-sea bridge visible as the plane begins its descent along the Fujian coast.
Kinmen Island
Clearly visible just off the coast of Xiamen, offering a unique perspective of this geographically significant island.
Xiamen Eastern Coast
The beautiful sandy beaches and the Yanwu Bridge area as you line up for the runway.
For the best lighting, choose the left side on afternoon flights to avoid the morning glare. Keep an eye out about 15 minutes before landing for the distinct maritime border between Xiamen and Kinmen. This side is especially scenic during clear summer days when the East China Sea appears bright blue.
Changzhou Urban Area
A bird's-eye view of the dense urban planning and industrial parks of southern Jiangsu immediately after takeoff.
Wuyi Mountain Range
Distant views of the dramatic mountain ridges that define the border between Jiangxi and Fujian provinces.
Xiamen Port
One of the world's busiest container terminals, visible on the western side of Xiamen Island during the approach.
Haicang Bridge
The elegant suspension bridge connecting Xiamen Island to the mainland Haicang District.
Siming District Skyline
A view of Xiamen's dense financial district and high-rise apartments during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for sunset views if flying in the late afternoon. It offers a better look at the industrial and port infrastructure of Xiamen. If the flight path approaches from the south, this side will provide a panoramic view of the entire island's western coastline.
