Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Central Mountain Range of Taiwan during departure, followed by the iconic peaks of Mount Huangshan and the grand crossing of the Yangtze River as you descend into Hefei.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Taiwan Central Range

Stunning views of Taiwan's rugged interior peaks as the aircraft climbs and heads north-northwest.

🚢

Coastal Ports

Views of the busy maritime traffic and complex coastline around Quanzhou and Ningde.

⛰️

Mount Huangshan

The legendary 'Yellow Mountain' with its unique granite pillars and pine-covered ridges is a major highlight.

🌊

Yangtze River

A spectacular crossing of the massive Yangtze River, often seen near the city of Anqing or Wuhu.

🌾

Anhui Plains

The transition into the fertile agricultural patchwork and river networks of central Anhui during descent.

For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating Mount Huangshan perfectly. Use a map app to track the Yangtze River crossing, which signals you are approximately 15-20 minutes from landing. Check the weather forecast for Anhui; clear days are essential for spotting the granite peaks of Huangshan.

🌊

Taiwan Strait

Expansive views of the turquoise waters separating Taiwan from mainland China shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Fuzhou Urban Area

A bird's-eye view of the Min River winding through the densely populated capital of Fujian Province.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountains

Dense green forests and misty peaks of this UNESCO World Heritage site visible during the mid-flight cruise.

🏞️

Poyang Lake Basin

The edge of China's largest freshwater lake and its surrounding wetlands may be visible depending on the specific airway.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 30 minutes into the flight for the Fujian coastline. Visibility is often best in autumn when the summer haze clears.
