Which side of the plane to sit from Lianshui Airport (Huai An) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior coastal views as the flight approaches Fuzhou, including the intricate archipelagos of Zhejiang and the dramatic coastline of the East China Sea.
Yangtze River Delta
Aerial view of the massive sediment-rich waters where the Yangtze meets the East China Sea.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
On clear days, see the S-shaped silhouette of one of the world's longest trans-oceanic bridges.
Ningbo-Zhoushan Port
Watch the high-density maritime traffic and sprawling container terminals of one of the world's busiest ports.
Zhejiang Archipelagos
A stunning array of small, rocky islands scattered along the coastline of eastern China.
Fujian Coastline
Dramatic views of the rugged, indented coastline and aquaculture farms near Fuzhou.
For the best experience, choose an afternoon flight to avoid direct sunlight and glare. As the plane descends into Fuzhou Changle, the left side often provides a sweeping view of the Min River entering the sea. Look out for the numerous fish farms that look like grids on the water surface.
The Grand Canal
Look for the historic waterway cutting through the Jiangsu plains shortly after takeoff from Huai'an.
Gaoyou Lake
One of the largest freshwater lakes in China, visible as a vast blue expanse in central Jiangsu.
Zhejiang Highlands
Verdant green hills and tea-growing regions characteristic of the Zhejiang province interior.
Fuzhou Urban Center
As you bank for landing, the dense skyline of Fuzhou framed by inland mountains becomes visible.
Min River Valley
The winding path of the Min River through the mountainous terrain of northern Fujian.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides a better view of the mountainous terrain that characterizes the Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the intricate canal systems of Huai'an, a historic 'Canal Capital'.
