Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Wuyi Mountains and a clearer perspective of the northern Fujian coastline and the Min River delta.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Northern Taiwan Peaks

Distant views of the northern tip of Taiwan's Central Mountain Range immediately after departure.

⚓

Min River Delta

The sprawling river mouth and urban density of Fuzhou, a major regional capital.

🌳

Wuyi Mountains

UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic tea-growing valleys and ancient rock formations.

🏙️

Changsha Urban Sprawl

A panoramic view of the rapidly growing city of Changsha and the Xiang River during final approach.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare while capturing the misty Wuyi Mountains. The northern Fujian coastline is usually more distinct from this side. Look for the winding rivers in the mountainous regions which often have small, picturesque villages nestled in the valleys. Seat yourself away from the wing for the clearest view of the mountain topography.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Taiwan Strait Crossing

A vast expanse of blue water connecting the island of Taiwan to the Asian mainland, often dotted with cargo ships.

🏙️

Quanzhou Coastline

The historic maritime Silk Road port city is visible as the flight enters mainland China airspace.

⛰️

Southern Jiangxi Highlands

Dense, rolling hills and mountain ranges characteristic of the interior of southeastern China.

🌾

Hunan Basin Agriculture

Lush green rice paddies and organized agricultural patterns as the descent into Changsha begins.

Sit on the left for better views of the sunset if you are on an evening flight, as the sun will dip over the Taiwan Strait. Keep an eye out for the Penghu Islands shortly after takeoff if the flight path tracks slightly south. During the descent, the agricultural grid of rural Hunan is particularly striking in the late afternoon light.
