Which side of the plane to sit from Nanjing Lukou Airport (Nanjing) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for China's inland natural beauty, featuring the island-dotted Qiandao Lake and the dramatic, mist-shrouded peaks of the Wuyi Mountain range.
Qiandao Lake
A stunning man-made reservoir in Zhejiang featuring over 1,000 emerald islands scattered across turquoise waters.
Wuyi Mountains
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic limestone peaks, deep canyons, and ancient tea plantations.
Fujian Highlands
Rolling hills covered in dense subtropical forests, offering a sea of green interrupted only by winding mountain roads.
Min River Gorge
Follow the lifeblood of Fuzhou as it carves a path through the steep valleys of the interior mountains toward the sea.
Request a seat ahead of the wing to ensure the best views of Qiandao Lake, which typically appears 20-30 minutes after takeoff. This side is particularly spectacular during late afternoon flights when the sun sets over the inland mountain ranges.
Hangzhou Metropolitan Area
Dense urban sprawl and the southern reaches of the Yangtze River Delta as you exit Jiangsu province.
Qiantang River Estuary
The wide, silty mouth of the Qiantang River, famous for its massive tidal bores and complex bridge networks.
Ningbo-Zhoushan Port
Distant views of one of the world's busiest container ports and the bustling shipping lanes of the East China Sea.
Sandu Gulf
A deep-water bay in Fujian known for its extensive floating aquaculture farms and jagged coastal inlets.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. During the descent into Fuzhou, keep a close watch for the intricate network of seaweed and oyster farms lining the Fujian coastline, which create unique geometric patterns in the water.
