Which side of the plane to sit from Taiping Airport (Harbin) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of diverse terrain, including the vast agricultural plains of the North, the iconic crossing of the Yangtze River, and the dramatic mountain ranges of Fujian.
Northeast Plain
The expansive 'Black Earth' region with its unique grid-like patterns of industrial-scale agriculture.
Shenyang Metro
A clear view of the dense urban center of Liaoning's capital and its industrial outskirts.
Mount Tai (Taishan)
The silhouette of one of China's most sacred mountains rising from the Shandong landscape.
Yangtze River Crossing
A spectacular view of China's longest river, often filled with barge traffic and spanned by massive bridges.
Wuyi Mountains
As the flight enters Fujian, the landscape transforms into lush, jagged peaks and tea-growing valleys.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the inland mountains. The highlight is the Yangtze River crossing, which occurs approximately 70-80 minutes after departure from Harbin. In winter, the contrast between the snow-dusted north and the evergreen south is particularly striking from this side.
Bohai Sea Coast
Aerial views of the coastline where the North China Plain meets the Bohai Sea, featuring busy shipping lanes.
Qingdao Peninsula
A distant view of the red-roofed colonial architecture and the sprawling urban layout of Qingdao.
Lianyungang Port
One of China's largest maritime hubs, visible as a massive complex of cranes and cargo ships.
Hangzhou Bay
On a clear day, the massive infrastructure connecting the coastal cities of Zhejiang is visible.
Fujian Archipelagos
Dozens of small islands scattered along the rugged coastline as you descend into Fuzhou.
Choose the left side for morning flights to experience a stunning sunrise over the Yellow Sea. This side provides the best perspective of the coastline and the transition from the northern plains to the maritime environment of the south. Keep an eye out for the intricate patterns of offshore wind farms near the end of the journey.
