Which side of the plane to sit from Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a continuous view of the Chinese coastline, including major urban centers like Shenzhen, Shantou, and the iconic Xiamen skyline, backed by the rugged mountains of Fujian.
Hong Kong Skyline
Immediate views of Lantau Island and the dense skyscrapers of the New Territories upon departure.
Daya Bay
Clear view of the industrial hubs and the nuclear power plant complex along the Guangdong coast.
Chaoshan Urban Sprawl
The combined metropolitan areas of Jieyang, Chaozhou, and Shantou showing intense coastal development.
Xiamen and Gulangyu
A stunning bird's-eye view of Xiamen Island and the UNESCO-listed pedestrian island of Gulangyu.
Fujian Coastal Ranges
The beginning of the Wu-yi mountain foothills meeting the sea, characterized by deep green peaks.
Book a window seat on the left (A) for mainland scenery. Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you for better photography. Look out about 40 minutes into the flight for the best views of Xiamen's unique geography.
HKZM Bridge
View of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge-tunnel system shortly after takeoff.
South China Sea
Expansive views of the busy shipping lanes with numerous cargo ships and tankers.
Nanao Island
A prominent large island off the coast of Shantou connected by a long sea bridge.
Kinmen Island
Visible just off the coast of Xiamen, showing a mix of rural and developed landscapes.
Min River Estuary
Intricate wetland systems and river channels as the aircraft descends into Fuzhou Changle.
The right side (F or K) is better if you prefer the vastness of the ocean and the Taiwan Strait. Be aware that morning flights on this side will face direct sunlight, which can make it quite warm and difficult to see through the glare.
