Which side of the plane to sit from Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou) to Changzhou Benniu Airport (Changzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Fujianese mountain ranges and a front-row seat to the expansive Taihu Lake during the descent into the Yangtze River Delta.
Daiyun Mountain Range
The rugged, forested peaks of central Fujian province visible shortly after departure from Fuzhou.
Qujiang River Valley
Winding river systems cutting through the hilly terrain of western Zhejiang province.
Taihu Lake
China's third-largest freshwater lake, providing a stunning blue expanse as the plane nears Changzhou.
Wuxi City Skyline
Distinguishable urban clusters and high-rises on the eastern banks of Taihu Lake during descent.
Book a window seat on the left (A) for a direct view of Taihu Lake. Morning flights around 08:00-10:00 provide the best lighting for the Fujian mountains without harsh glare. In summer, watch for towering cumulus clouds over the inland mountains.
East China Sea Coastline
Distal views of the Min River estuary and the jagged coastline of Ningde in the distance.
Ningbo-Shaoxing Corridor
The dense industrial and urban sprawl connecting the major port cities of Zhejiang.
Hangzhou Bay
On clear days, the massive bay and potentially the silhouette of the Hangzhou Bay Bridge are visible to the east.
Jiangnan Canal Network
The intricate web of ancient and modern canals that define the southern Yangtze River Delta landscape.
The right side (F) is ideal for observing the scale of China's coastal urbanization. Late afternoon flights may suffer from atmospheric haze, common in the delta, so early morning is preferred for visibility of the distant coastline.
