Liuzhou Karst Peaks
Dramatic limestone pillars and jagged hills surrounding the Liuzhou basin immediately after takeoff.
Beijiang River
A major tributary of the Pearl River winding through the valley floors below.
Zhangzhou Basin
Fertile agricultural lands and fruit orchards that signify the transition to the coastal plain.
Taiwan Strait
The deep blue expanse of the strait becomes visible as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.
Gulangyu Island
Look for the famous car-free island and its colonial architecture just off the coast of Xiamen.
Xiamen Bridge
Major infrastructure connecting the island to the mainland spanning across the sea.
The right side is premier for the 'Xiamen arrival experience.' Request a window seat here for the best chance to see Gulangyu Island and the coastal skyline. On a clear day, the contrast between the green mountains and the blue sea is striking. Aim for a late afternoon flight to catch the 'golden hour' light reflecting off the Xiamen Bay.

Nanling Mountains
Dense, green mountain ridges that define the border between Guangxi and Guangdong provinces.

Sit on the left for a better look at the inland mountain ranges during the cruise phase. For the landing, this side provides an excellent view of the Jimei District's distinctive red-roofed buildings if the flight approaches XMN from the north. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the sun's glare on this side.
