Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the rugged Fujian-Zhejiang coastline, including the dramatic Yandang Mountain range and the urban density of coastal hubs like Ningbo and Fuzhou.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
đŸ—ī¸

Ningbo-Zhoushan Port

Witness the world's busiest port by cargo tonnage, featuring massive container terminals and the Jintang Bridge.

â›°ī¸

Yandang Mountains

Dramatic volcanic peaks and jagged ridges of this UNESCO Global Geopark visible as you fly over southern Zhejiang.

đŸ™ī¸

Wenzhou Cityscape

The dense urban sprawl of Wenzhou nestled between mountains and the Oujiang River estuary.

🌉

Min River & Fuzhou

The winding Min River as it cuts through the mountains toward Fuzhou, marked by numerous bridges and green valleys.

🌊

Quanzhou Bay Bridge

During the descent into JJN, enjoy a clear view of the massive cross-sea bridge spanning the bay.

🛕

Quanzhou Ancient City

Look for the historic twin pagodas of Kaiyuan Temple as the plane aligns for its final approach into Jinjiang.

The right side is the 'land side' and provides much more geographical variety. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the mountain ranges. During the descent into Quanzhou, this side typically offers a better view of the city's historical layout and the coastal industrial zones.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
â›Šī¸

Mount Putuo

Visible shortly after takeoff, see the sacred Buddhist island known for its massive Guanyin statue and ancient temples.

đŸī¸

Zhoushan Archipelago

A bird's-eye view of China's largest archipelago, featuring hundreds of emerald islands dotting the blue East China Sea.

đŸšĸ

East China Sea Shipping Lanes

High-density maritime traffic area where massive cargo ships and tankers queue for access to major international ports.

đŸŒŦī¸

Offshore Wind Farms

Large-scale renewable energy installations appearing as grids of white turbines rising from the coastal waters.

🌅

Taiwan Strait Horizon

On clear days, the vast expanse of the strait stretches toward the horizon, offering stunning reflections during morning flights.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for observing the transition from shallow coastal waters to the deep blue of the East China Sea. Keep an eye out for the distinct Buddhist architecture on Putuoshan immediately after departing HSN.
