Min River Estuary
Immediately after takeoff from FOC, witness the sediment-rich waters of the Min River merging with the East China Sea.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A breathtaking view of China's largest archipelago, featuring hundreds of emerald islands and the massive sea bridges connecting them.
Ningbo-Zhoushan Port
Observe one of the world's busiest shipping hubs with dozens of cargo vessels dotting the coastline.
Jeju Northern Coastline
On final approach, the left side typically looks over Jeju City and the northern harbor's breakwaters.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun over the ocean. This side offers the most consistent land-based geography during the cruise phase over the Zhejiang coast. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to fully appreciate the cluster of islands in the Zhoushan area.

Matsu Islands
Shortly after departure, look for these strategically significant islands located just off the coast of Fuzhou.
Mount Hallasan
As the flight nears Jeju, the right side offers an iconic perspective of South Korea's highest peak and its surrounding volcanic cones.
East China Sea Vistas
Deep blue oceanic views that transition into turquoise as the aircraft approaches the shallow shelf of the Korean Peninsula.
The right side is the 'sun side' for morning departures, which can be bright, but it is excellent for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset. It is the preferred side if the flight path circles the southern part of Jeju Island, providing the best angle for photographing Mount Hallasan's peak.
