Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the UNESCO-listed Wuyi Mountains shortly after takeoff and provides a broader perspective of the massive river systems and urban centers of central China.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Fuzhou Urban Vista

A grand aerial view of Fuzhou's rapid urban expansion and the surrounding mountain basins.

🏔️

Wuyi Mountains Core

The best angle to see the dramatic cliffs and peaks of this famous UNESCO World Heritage site.

💧

Poyang Lake Region

The vast wetland plains south of China's largest freshwater lake are visible in the distance.

🌉

Xiang River Crossing

Bird's eye view of the wide Xiang River and the outskirts of the major industrial city of Changsha.

🌄

Guizhou Plateau Rise

Observe the dramatic geographical 'step' as the aircraft climbs from the central plains onto the high plateau.

Morning flights are ideal for the right side to catch the sunrise reflecting off the rivers. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the most rugged sections of the Wuyi Mountains.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Min River Estuary

Captivating views of the river branching into the East China Sea immediately after departure from Fuzhou.

⛰️

Southern Wuyi Range

The southern fringes of the massive mountain chain that divides Fujian and Jiangxi provinces.

🛶

Gan River Basin

Visuals of the winding Gan River as the flight traverses the agricultural heartland of Jiangxi.

🏞️

Hunan Hill Country

Densely forested rolling hills and hidden valleys characteristic of the southern Hunan landscape.

🪨

Guizhou Karst Peaks

Spectacular views of the iconic 'Ten Thousand Peaks' limestone formations during the descent into Guiyang.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during midday flights to avoid direct sun glare. Pay close attention during the final 20 minutes of the flight; the karst terrain in Guizhou is exceptionally photogenic from this side.
