Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an exceptional perspective of the rugged East China Sea coastline, featuring numerous bays, islands, and major river deltas that define the maritime geography of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Sanmen Bay

View the intricate fractal-like coastline and numerous small islands dotting the blue waters of Zhejiang.

🏙️

Wenzhou Delta

The expansive Ou River meeting the sea, showcasing a dense urban landscape integrated with massive bridges.

⚓

Sansha Bay

A stunning deep-water bay near Ningde, known for its vast areas of floating aquaculture and maritime activity.

🏞️

Min River Estuary

The dramatic point where the Min River flows past Fuzhou into the East China Sea, creating vibrant sediment patterns.

🏝️

Meizhou Bay

Observe the sacred Meizhou Island and the industrial ports of Putian set against the turquoise coastal waters.

Sit on the left for the best coastal views. Morning flights are ideal to avoid direct sun glare while the sunlight illuminates the coastline. On clear days, look for the high-speed rail bridges that run parallel to the coast. Avoid seats directly over the wing for an unobstructed view of the bays.

Right Side Highlights
7.3
⛰️

Fujian Mountains

Continuous chains of emerald-green peaks and deep valleys characteristic of the Daiyun Mountain range.

💧

Inland Reservoirs

Numerous sparkling blue reservoirs tucked between mountain ridges, such as the Shanxi Reservoir area.

☁️

Mountain Mists

The 'Sea of Clouds' effect often seen in the early morning or after rain over the humid Fujian interior.

🏗️

Quanzhou Skyline

A panoramic view of Quanzhou's urban development and historic architecture during the final descent into Jinjiang.

Choose the right side for sunset views on late afternoon flights. The mountainous terrain is particularly scenic when the low sun creates long shadows across the valleys. Keep an eye out for terraced tea plantations on the higher slopes of the Fujian interior.
