Which side of the plane to sit from Hefei Luogang International Airport (Hefei) to Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (Xiamen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the rugged Wuyi Mountain range during cruise and provides the most dramatic urban scenery of Xiamen's port and bridges during the final approach.
Wuyi Mountains
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic sandstone peaks and lush greenery.
Fujian Forest
Fly over the dense forest canopy of China's most forested province.
Zhangzhou City
The sprawling urban landscape of Zhangzhou appears just before the descent into Xiamen.
Xiamen Haicang Port
Incredible views of the massive container terminals and maritime traffic.
Jimei District
Aerial view of the unique 'Tan Kah Kee' architectural style and the Jimei School Village.
Book an afternoon flight to see the sun illuminate the Wuyi Mountains. During landing, this side typically faces the spectacular Haicang Bridge and the western side of Xiamen Island, providing a great sense of the city's island geography.
Chaohu Lake
Visible shortly after departure from Hefei, this is one of China's largest freshwater lakes.
Anhui Uplands
Scenic views of the hilly transitions between the Yangtze plain and southern mountains.
Quanzhou Bay
Distant views of the massive coastal bridges and the urban sprawl of Quanzhou.
Kinmen Islands
Depending on the approach path, these islands are visible just off the Xiamen coast.
Early morning flights provide beautiful sunrise reflections over Chaohu Lake. If the plane approaches XMN from the south over the sea, sit here for views of the coastline and offshore islands.
