Which side of the plane to sit from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (Shanghai) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for observing the intricate coastline of eastern China, including major bridges, port cities, and the lush mountain ranges of the Fujian-Zhejiang border.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
One of the world's longest trans-oceanic bridges, visible shortly after departing Shanghai.
Ningbo and Wenzhou
Aerial views of these major industrial port cities and their complex river systems.
Taimu Mountains
The rugged, granite peaks and lush greenery of the coastal mountains as you enter Fujian.
Coastal Inlets
Highly detailed views of the jagged coastline, featuring Sanmen Bay and the Ou River estuary.
Min River Delta
The fertile plains and winding river paths leading into Fuzhou during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while enjoying the detailed geography of the coastline. Keep a close watch for the Hangzhou Bay Bridge about 15-20 minutes into the flight. The transition from the flat Yangtze delta to the mountainous Fujian terrain is a highlight of this route.
East China Sea
Expansive views of the turquoise waters and busy maritime shipping lanes.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of China's largest archipelago, including the sacred Putuoshan island.
Pacific Horizon
On clear days, the distant horizon where the sea meets the sky offers a sense of immense scale.
Select the left side for morning flights to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Pacific Ocean. It is also the better side for spotting remote offshore islands and the massive container ships entering the Yangshan Deep-Water Port.
