Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the legendary Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) and a more direct look at the scenic Min River valley during the descent into Fuzhou.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Chaohu Lake

One of the five largest freshwater lakes in China, visible shortly after takeoff from Hefei.

🚢

Yangtze River Bend

Watch the majestic Yangtze River as it curves through the industrial hubs of Wuhu and Tongling.

⛰️

Huangshan (Yellow Mountain)

The UNESCO site's granite peaks and sea of clouds are often visible to the east during the mid-flight cruise.

🍵

Wuyi Mountains

Aerial perspective of the rugged, mist-covered peaks famous for Da Hong Pao oolong tea.

🏙️

Min River Delta

The final approach follows the winding Min River as it flows through the heart of Fuzhou toward the sea.

Book a morning flight to avoid the afternoon haze that often obscures the Huangshan peaks. During winter, look for snow-capped ridges in the Wuyi range. For the best view of Huangshan, aim for a window seat midway through the cabin to avoid wing obstruction.

Right Side Highlights
7.3
🏔️

Dabie Mountains

View of the rugged mountainous region forming the border between Anhui and Hubei provinces.

💧

Poyang Lake Basin

In the distance, the vast wetlands of China's largest freshwater lake can be spotted to the west.

🌲

Jiangxi Greenery

A continuous carpet of dense subtropical forests and rolling hills across central Jiangxi.

🌄

Fujian Highlands

Deeper valleys and steep terraced farms characteristic of the western Fujian landscape.

🏖️

East China Sea Coast

As the plane turns for its final approach to FOC, you may catch glimpses of the rugged coastline and the Taiwan Strait.

Sit on the right for sunset views on late afternoon flights, which illuminate the mountain ridges of Jiangxi and Fujian. If the flight path approaches from the south, the right side provides a better view of the Changle coastline before landing.
