Which side of the plane to sit from Kunming Changshui International Airport (Kunming) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers more consistent views of China's dramatic mountain ranges, including the karst formations of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the UNESCO-listed Wuyi Mountains during the descent phase.
Karst Topography
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys of eastern Yunnan and western Guizhou visible early in the flight.
Wuyi Mountains
The northern Fujian landscape features lush, jagged peaks and tea-growing valleys as the plane begins its descent.
Guizhou Cloud Sea
Frequent low-hanging mist trapped between the high-altitude plateaus, creating a spectacular ocean of white.
Min River Bend
The deep, winding curves of the upper Min River as it carves through the Fujianese highlands toward the coast.
Select a window seat ahead of the wing to clearly see the transition from high plateau to coastal mountains. On morning flights, the lighting highlights the textures of the Wuyi range. Keep an eye out for the Ganyue border mountains roughly 60 minutes into the flight.
Kunming Skyline
A panoramic view of the 'Spring City' and the nearby Dianchi Lake shortly after departure from Changshui.
Nanling Mountains
The southern boundary of the Yangtze basin, showcasing dense forests and high-altitude infrastructure.
Ganzhou Urban Hub
The sprawling city of Ganzhou in southern Jiangxi, marked by its prominent river intersections.
Fuzhou Coastline
Upon final approach, views of the East China Sea and the rugged islands along the Fujian coast.
Excellent for sunset flights as the southern sky often glows over the mountainous horizon. During the final 15 minutes of flight, look for the massive bridge networks connecting the coastal islands near Changle Airport. Avoid sitting over the wing to ensure visibility of the urban landscapes.
