Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular view of the rugged inland terrain and the world-famous Danxia landforms of the Wuyishan Scenic Area during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
✈️

Daxing International

A distant view of the massive 'Starfish' design of Beijing's second major airport shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Taihang Mountains

The eastern edges of the Taihang range visible in the distance during the cruise phase.

🌉

Yangtze River

Crossing the mighty Yangtze River, often seeing large cargo ships and bridge infrastructure near Anqing.

⛰️

Wuyishan Danxia

Dramatic red sandstone cliffs and unique karst-like peaks that define this UNESCO World Heritage site.

🛶

Nine-Bend River

The iconic turquoise river winding through the deep valleys of the Wuyishan National Park.

Sit on the right for the most dramatic scenery during descent. The pilot often approaches WUS from the north, placing the core scenic area on your right. Best viewed in the afternoon for warm light hitting the red cliffs.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Beijing Outskirts

Aerial view of the sprawling southern suburbs and the industrial landscape surrounding the capital city.

🌊

Yellow River Crossing

The massive, silt-heavy Yellow River winding through the North China Plain near Jinan.

🏙️

Hefei Skyline

The dense urban center and growing infrastructure of the Anhui provincial capital.

🌳

Fujian Hillside

Lush green rolling hills as the flight enters the humid, mountainous terrain of Northern Fujian.

Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides a clearer view of the coastal plains and the transition from the North China Plain to the southern hills.
