Which side of the plane to sit from Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou) to Lianyungang Airport (Lianyungang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the East China Sea coastline, the intricate Zhoushan Archipelago, and the dramatic transition where the Yangtze River meets the ocean.
Fujian Coastal Jaggedness
The highly indented coastline of northern Fujian, featuring countless hidden bays and rocky promontories.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A stunning collection of hundreds of islands and islets dotting the sea near Ningbo.
Hangzhou Bay
The massive expanse of the bay where the Qiantang River meets the sea, occasionally revealing the Cross-Sea Bridge.
Yangtze Estuary
The distinct 'line of demarcation' where the sediment-heavy brown waters of the Yangtze mix with the blue East China Sea.
Coastal Wind Farms
Massive offshore wind turbine arrays lining the Jiangsu coast, appearing like tiny white needles in the water.
Mount Huaguo
The legendary 'Mountain of Flowers and Fruit' near Lianyungang, visible during the final descent phase.
Best for morning flights to enjoy illuminated coastal views without sun glare. The sediment plumes at the Yangtze mouth are most vivid in winter when river levels are lower and water visibility changes. Try to identify the large cargo ships queuing for the Port of Shanghai.
Fuzhou Skyline
Aerial view of the Min River winding through the dense urban core of Fuzhou during initial ascent.
Zhejiang Highlands
The rugged, mist-covered mountain ranges of inland Zhejiang province stretching toward the horizon.
Taihu Lake
Distal views of one of China's largest freshwater lakes, appearing as a shimmering silver expanse.
Yangtze Delta Urbanization
The endless urban sprawl of the Suzhou-Wuxi-Changzhou megalopolis, showcasing China's industrial scale.
Jiangsu Agriculture
A complex patchwork of rectangular rice paddies and irrigation canals characterizing the northern Jiangsu plains.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the inland mountains. Keep an eye out for the dense network of ancient water towns visible as the flight crosses the southern Yangtze delta.
