Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point over the East China Sea, featuring a dense progression of coastal islands, maritime traffic, and the stunning Zhoushan Archipelago during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
đŸī¸

Pingtan Island

View of the distinctive coastline and massive wind farms of China's fifth-largest island.

🚤

East China Sea Shipping

Active maritime lanes filled with container ships and fishing fleets dotting the blue horizon.

đŸ–ī¸

Dongtou Archipelago

A cluster of picturesque islands near Wenzhou often connected by impressive sea bridges.

🌉

Zhoushan Sea Bridges

Spectacular views of the massive bridge complexes linking the islands of the Zhoushan archipelago.

â›Šī¸

Mount Putuo

On final approach, look for the sacred Buddhist peaks and the Guanyin statue on Putuoshan island.

🌊

Island Mosaic

Dozens of small, uninhabited islets surrounding Zhoushan visible as the plane descends.

Choose the right side for morning flights to enjoy the best lighting on the ocean and islands. The approach into HSN is particularly scenic on this side, as the plane often banks over the Zhoushan islands, providing a 'top-down' view of the archipelago's geography.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
đŸ™ī¸

Quanzhou Urban Landscape

Aerial view of the Jinjiang River and the historic urban sprawl of Quanzhou shortly after takeoff.

đŸ”ī¸

Fujian Coastal Ranges

The rugged, green-clad mountains of northeastern Fujian province stretching toward the interior.

Min River Estuary

The wide, silt-laden waters where the Min River meets the sea near Fuzhou.

Yandang Mountains

Glimpses of the sharp, dramatic volcanic peaks of the Yandangshan range in southern Zhejiang.

đŸ™ī¸

Wenzhou Cityscape

The dense industrial and residential development of Wenzhou nestled between mountains and the coast.

Sit on the left during sunset flights to witness the sun dipping behind the Zhejiang mountains. This side provides a better perspective of the rapid urban development along China's southeastern coast, though glare can be an issue during afternoon northbound flights.
