Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a stunning continuous view of the southeastern Chinese coastline, including the architectural marvels of Xiamen, the intricate Fujian archipelago, and the vast East China Sea, whereas the left side focuses more on rugged inland mountainous terrain.

🚢

Yantian Port

🏖️

Dapeng Peninsula

Clear turquoise waters and white sandy beaches on the eastern edge of Shenzhen.

Xiamen Island

An iconic view of Xiamen city, including the famous Gulangyu Island and coastal bridges.

🏝️

Meizhou Bay

🌊

Taiwan Strait

Vast ocean views with numerous cargo ships and fishing vessels dotting the horizon.

🚤

Wenzhou Archipelago

The final approach provides a spectacular view of the Dongtou Islands and the Oujiang River estuary.

The right side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight when the sun is in the west, perfectly lighting up the Xiamen skyline and the coastal cliffs of Fujian.
