Which side of the plane to sit from Beijing Capital International Airport (Beijing) to Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport (Quanzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a spectacular perspective of China's transition from the industrial north to the lush coastal south, featuring views of the Bohai Bay, the massive Yangtze River delta, and the intricate Fujian coastline.
Bohai Bay Coastline
Shortly after takeoff, catch glimpses of the northern coastline and the busy ports near Tianjin.
Nanjing Urban Area
View the sprawling metropolis of Nanjing and its iconic bridges spanning the wide Yangtze River.
Taihu Lake
A massive freshwater lake visible near the border of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, dotted with small islands.
Hangzhou Bay
On clear days, see the massive cross-sea bridge and the complex industrial zones of Ningbo.
Fujian Archipelago
During the descent, enjoy the view of thousands of tiny islands and fishing villages along the rugged Fujian coast.
Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while capturing the reflection of the sea. This side is particularly rewarding for seeing the high-density urbanization of the Yangtze River Delta.
Mount Huang (Huangshan)
Fly past the legendary granite peaks and sea of clouds associated with one of China's most famous mountains.
Mount Wuyi (Wuyishan)
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic river bends and steep tea-growing cliffs.
Min River Valley
Follow the winding path of the Min River as it cuts through the dense green mountains of northern Fujian.
Central Plains Farmland
Observe the vast, geometric patterns of agricultural fields across the Hebei and Shandong provinces.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the inland mountain ranges. Keep an eye out for the distinctive karst-like formations of Wuyishan approximately 40 minutes before landing.
