Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Wuyi Mountains and the interior highlands of Fujian and Anhui provinces.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Quanzhou Coastline

Panoramic view of the Fujian coastline as the flight crosses from the Taiwan Strait into mainland airspace.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountains

Observation of the jagged, misty peaks and deep valleys of this UNESCO World Heritage site.

🛤️

Jiangxi Highlands

Rolling green hills and terraced agricultural landscapes as the plane traverses the interior of China.

🌳

Dabie Mountains

Significant mountain ridges marking the geographic transition into the central Chinese plains.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Wuyi Mountains. Mid-afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography without sun glare. Watch for the change from coastal plains to rugged peaks within the first 45 minutes of flight after crossing the strait.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

Tamsui Estuary

A final look at the northern tip of Taiwan and the mouth of the Tamsui River after takeoff.

🌊

East China Sea

Vast blue horizons with scattered merchant ships and small islands visible near the Zhejiang coast.

🌉

Yangtze River Crossing

The iconic crossing of China's longest river, appearing as a massive silver ribbon winding through the landscape.

🏙️

Zhengzhou CBD

A bird's-eye view of the rapidly expanding Zhengdong New District and its unique circular urban layout on descent.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the light reflecting off the East China Sea. As you approach Zhengzhou, this side often provides a clearer view of the Yellow River to the north and the sprawling urban layout of the city's modern financial district.
