Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of the Nanling and Wuyi mountain ranges, along with the scenic approach along the Min River valley into Fuzhou.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Northern Karst Formations

Immediately after takeoff, witness the iconic jagged limestone peaks that characterize the Guilin landscape extending northward.

🌲

Nanling Mountains

Cross over the dense, forested ridges of the Nanling range, which forms a natural border between the interior and the coast.

🏞️

Wuyishan Foothills

As the flight enters Fujian, the northern horizon features the rugged terrain of the Wuyi Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

💧

Min River System

Follow the winding path of the Min River, the largest river in Fujian, as it carves through deep valleys toward the sea.

🏙️

Fuzhou Northern Suburbs

During the descent, get a clear view of the urban expansion and the surrounding green hills that frame Fuzhou's northern edge.

Morning flights are ideal to avoid direct sunlight on this side. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the dramatic transition from the high mountains of inland Fujian to the coastal plains and river deltas.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🛶

Li River Valley

View the southern stretch of the Li River winding toward Yangshuo shortly after departing Guilin.

⛰️

Longyan Highlands

The southern Fujian landscape features unique circular earthen Tulou buildings visible in the mountainous gaps if the sky is clear.

🌊

Taiwan Strait Coastline

As the plane approaches Changle, the right side offers a sweeping view of the East China Sea and the jagged coastline.

🏗️

Fuzhou New Area

See the rapid industrial and port development along the coast near Changle District during the final approach.

🏝️

Min River Estuary

A stunning view of the river meeting the sea, featuring numerous small islands and sediment plumes.

Choose this side for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the mountains. The right side is particularly scenic during the final descent as it often faces the ocean and the coastal wind-farm installations.
