Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most dramatic views of the northern Wuyi Mountains and offers a better angle to spot the winding Yangtze River and the approach into the Three Gorges region.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

East China Sea Coast

Initial views of the coastline and the Min River estuary immediately after departing Fuzhou.

🏞️

Wuyishan National Park

Spectacular views of the UNESCO-listed northern Wuyi Mountains, known for their unique rock formations and tea plantations.

💧

Poyang Lake Basin

Distant views of China's largest freshwater lake system and its surrounding wetlands in Jiangxi.

🐍

Yangtze River Bends

Look for the massive silver ribbons of the Yangtze River as the flight path parallels the water body near Hubei.

🏔️

Three Gorges Approach

Rugged, steep-walled canyons and limestone peaks as the flight enters the eastern edge of the Sichuan Basin.

🌉

Chongqing Confluence

During descent, catch the striking visual of the brown Yangtze and green Jialing rivers meeting in the heart of Chongqing.

This is the premier side for geography enthusiasts. Aim for a window seat well clear of the wing to see the Yangtze River's major curves. Morning flights offer the best lighting for this side without the harsh glare of the southern sun.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Fuzhou Urban Center

Aerial view of Fuzhou's dense cityscape and the Min River winding through the valley during takeoff.

⛰️

Southern Wuyi Range

Dense, subtropical forest-covered peaks and deep valleys of the southern Fujian province.

🚜

Jiangxi Farmlands

A patchwork of rice paddies and rural villages across the Gan River basin.

🌄

Sichuan Basin Rim

The dramatic rising terrain as the flight transitions from the central plains into the mountainous Chongqing region.

Sit on the left for a more direct view of Fuzhou's southern suburbs during departure. If flying late in the afternoon, be aware that the sun will be on this side, which may cause significant glare and heat.
