FOC → WUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou) to Sunan Shuofang International Airport (Wuxi)?
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.

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.
