Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the Fujian coastline through the rugged Nanling mountain ranges into the spectacular Karst landscapes of southeastern Guizhou.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Meizhou Bay

Aerial views of the winding Fujian coastline and busy shipping lanes shortly after takeoff.

🌲

Daiyun Mountains

Deep green forested peaks of central Fujian, often shrouded in morning mist.

🏙️

Ganzhou Confluence

The scenic junction where the Zhang and Gong rivers meet to form the Gan River in Jiangxi.

⛰️

Nanling Mountains

The majestic mountain range acting as a natural divider between the central and southern provinces.

🪨

Qiandongnan Karst

The iconic limestone 'forest of peaks' that defines the dramatic topography of eastern Guizhou.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Guizhou plateau's dramatic karst topography. Morning flights (08:00-11:00) are ideal as the sun illuminates the southern faces of the mountains. During spring, look for bright yellow patches of rapeseed flowers in the valley floors.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏢

Quanzhou Skyline

A clear view of the urban sprawl and the historic bridges of the Min River delta.

⛰️

Wuyi Foothills

Distant vistas of the northern Fujian ranges known for their tea production and steep cliffs.

🛶

Xiang River Basin

Crossing the massive waterway in Hunan, featuring large river islands and barge traffic.

🏞️

Hengyang Basin

A view of the geographical depression in central Hunan surrounded by rolling hills.

🌉

Guizhou Engineering

Spot massive high-altitude highway bridges spanning deep gorges during the final descent into Guiyang.

Choose the right side for afternoon or sunset flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is excellent for spotting China's impressive infrastructure, including high-speed rail lines and bridges. In winter, you may see mist-filled valleys which create a traditional Chinese ink painting aesthetic.
