Yellow Sea Coastline
Directly after takeoff from LYG, enjoy views of the sandy coastline and the Haizhou Bay area.
Jiangsu Wetlands
View the intricate networks of the Yancheng coastal wetlands, home to rare red-crowned cranes.
Yangtze River Crossing
A spectacular view of the wide Yangtze River, often filled with cargo ships near the Nantong area.
Hangzhou Bay
On clear days, see the vast expanse of Hangzhou Bay and the silhouettes of the Zhoushan Archipelago.
Fujian Archipelago
During the descent into FOC, the left side provides stunning views of the rugged islands and aquaculture farms in the East China Sea.
Choose a morning flight for spectacular sunrise views over the Pacific horizon. As the flight approaches Fuzhou, stay alert during the descent; if the plane approaches from the north, you will see the dramatic Min River meeting the sea. Use a window seat away from the wing for the best photography of the coastal jaggedness.

Jiangsu Water Towns
Look down upon the dense network of ancient canals and traditional water towns south of the Yangtze.
Suzhou and Wuxi
Observe the massive urban sprawl and industrial hubs of the southern Jiangsu province.
Zhejiang Hills
The landscape shifts to rolling green hills and tea plantations as you enter Zhejiang airspace.
Wuyi Mountain Foothills
As you enter Fujian, the terrain becomes significantly more mountainous with dense forest cover.
Fuzhou City Skyline
On the final approach, the right side often catches a glimpse of the Fuzhou urban center nestled between the mountains.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the ocean. It offers a better perspective of the inland topography and the rapid urbanization of the Yangtze River Delta. During winter months, the contrast between the green Fujian mountains and the gray northern plains is most visible from this side.
