Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this route as it offers an unparalleled view of Lake Tai (Taihu), one of China's largest freshwater lakes, during the descent into Wuxi. It also provides a better view of the mountainous terrain of northern Fujian and the intricate canal networks of the Yangtze River Delta.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Northern Fujian Highlands

Dense, mist-covered green mountains characteristic of the Min region shortly after takeoff.

🏞️

Lake Tai (Taihu)

The massive, shimmering expanse of the lake, featuring various islands and the Turtle Head Isle area near Wuxi.

🏘️

Jiangnan Water Towns

Intricate networks of ancient canals and modern waterways that define the landscape of southern Jiangsu.

🏙️

Wuxi Urban Center

A close-up view of Wuxi's rapidly growing skyline and high-tech parks during the final approach.

Sit on the left for the best views of Lake Tai during the final 15 minutes of the flight. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare. Look for the distinct 'S' shape of the Grand Canal winding through the urban landscape as you descend.

Right Side Highlights
8.0
🌊

East China Sea Coastline

The rugged and indented coastline of Fujian and Zhejiang, dotted with numerous fishing vessels.

🏝️

Zhoushan Archipelago

Distant views of the cluster of islands forming China's largest archipelago as the flight crosses Hangzhou Bay.

🌉

Hangzhou Bay Bridge

On clear days, the massive 36km sea-crossing bridge can be seen spanning the bay to the east.

🏙️

Greater Shanghai Fringe

The sprawling suburban expansion and industrial zones of the western Shanghai metropolitan area.

The right side offers great coastal views during the first half of the trip. On afternoon flights, the sunlight hits this side directly, which can be intense. Keep an eye out for the large cargo ships entering the Yangtze River Delta ports, which look like tiny dots from cruising altitude.
