Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Wuyi Mountains

The rugged, tea-covered foothills of northern Fujian provide a dramatic landscape early in the flight.

🏙️

Nanjing Skyline

On a clear day, the dense skyscrapers and urban sprawl of Nanjing are visible as you cross into Jiangsu province.

🌉

Yangtze River Crossing

A breathtaking view of the massive Yangtze River and its network of bridges connecting southern and northern China.

🌊

Hongze Lake

One of the largest freshwater lakes in China, offering stunning reflections and wetland views during the descent.

Sit on the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour glow over the Fujian mountains. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the scale of Hongze Lake.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏖️

Fujian Coastline

Immediately after departure from FOC, view the intricate bays and islands of the East China Sea.

🏞️

Zhejiang River Valleys

Scenic views of the Qiantang River basin and the lush, green agricultural valleys of central Zhejiang.

🌾

Yangtze River Delta

A vast mosaic of rice paddies and industrial parks that showcase the economic heart of Eastern China.

🦆

Gaoyou Lake

A peaceful expanse of water known for its wetlands and aquaculture, visible shortly before reaching Huai'an.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Look out early for the coastal views near Fuzhou, which are often clearer in the morning before humidity builds up.
