Wuyi Mountains
Look out for the lush, green peaks of this UNESCO World Heritage site shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Xiamen City
A clear view of the urban landscape of Xiamen, including the iconic coastal ring road and the bay area.
Pearl River Delta
Witness the sheer scale of the world's largest urban area, passing between the fringes of Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
Leizhou Peninsula
The narrow strip of land in Guangdong that points directly toward Hainan, marking the final mainland landmark.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the inland mountains. Keep your camera ready about 45 to 60 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views. In summer, watch for dramatic cumulonimbus clouds forming over the mainland interior.

Taiwan Strait
Expansive views of the turquoise waters separating the mainland from Taiwan, often dotted with cargo ships.
Pingtan Island
Spot the distinctive shape of Fujian's largest island and its massive cross-strait bridge infrastructure.
Coastal Harbors
Aerial perspectives of the busy shipping lanes and ports of Quanzhou and Shantou along the southeastern rim.
Hainan Approach
Beautiful views of the Qiongzhou Strait as the plane descends towards the northern tip of Hainan Island.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly scenic during the final 20 minutes of the flight when crossing the strait into Haikou. Look for the massive wind farms located off the coast of Fujian province.
