FOCTSN

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for China's eastern coastline, offering views of the East China Sea, major maritime infrastructure like the Hangzhou Bay, and the distinct transition into the Bohai Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Fujian Archipelago

Stunning views of the scattered islands and aquaculture farms along the Fujian coastline.

🌉

Hangzhou Bay

The massive cross-sea bridge and the sediment-rich waters of the Qiantang River estuary.

🚢

Yellow Sea Coast

The busy shipping lanes and port facilities along the Jiangsu and Shandong peninsulas.

🌊

Bohai Sea

The flight path often skirts the Bohai Gulf, offering deep blue water vistas before land reappears.

⚓

Tianjin Port

One of the world's largest man-made ports is often visible during the descent into TSN.

Choose the right side for coastal scenery. During afternoon flights, the sun will be behind the plane, providing excellent lighting for photography of the coastline and the Bohai Sea. Look for the distinct 'yellow' sediment water meeting the blue sea near the river estuaries.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Min River Basin

Aerial view of the winding Min River and Fuzhou's dense urban sprawl immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Wuyi Foothills

The rugged, green mountainous terrain of northern Fujian and southern Zhejiang provinces.

🌊

Yangtze River

A spectacular crossing of China's longest river, typically near the Nanjing-Zhenjiang corridor.

🗻

Mount Tai

On clear days, the silhouette of this sacred mountain in Shandong can be seen to the west.

🏘️

North China Plain

The vast, geometric patterns of agricultural land and industrial clusters leading into Tianjin.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. It offers better views of the inland mountainous transitions and the massive industrial scale of the North China Plain. Watch for the Yangtze River crossing roughly 45-60 minutes into the flight.
