Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior coastal perspective, featuring the vast East China Sea, the intricate Zhoushan Archipelago, and several scenic bays along the Zhejiang coast.

Left Side Highlights

🌉

Hangzhou Bay Bridge

The massive S-shaped trans-oceanic bridge stretching across the bay shortly after departure.

Zhoushan Archipelago

A stunning collection of hundreds of islands scattered across the East China Sea.

â›Šī¸

Putuoshan

One of the four sacred mountains of Buddhism, visible as a distinct island sanctuary.

🌊

Sanmen Bay

Intricate coastlines where blue waters meet the rugged, irregular terrain of the mainland.

đŸšĸ

Wenzhou Coastal Ports

Active maritime traffic and large cargo vessels navigating the river mouths and offshore lanes.

Sit on the left for the best sunlight in the morning and stunning island views. Watch closely 15-20 minutes into the flight for the Hangzhou Bay Bridge. In summer, the sea is often a vibrant blue, making the islands pop against the water.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
đŸ™ī¸

Hangzhou Outskirts

The sprawling urban development of the Qiantang River delta and the edges of Hangzhou city.

â›°ī¸

Tiantai Mountains

Rolling green peaks and deep valleys that define the geography of eastern Zhejiang province.

đŸĒ¨

Yandang Mountains

World-famous rhyolite rock formations and sharp vertical cliffs visible from cruising altitude.

Taizhou Urban Belt

Dense clusters of industrial and residential zones showcasing China's rapid coastal development.

đŸ›¤ī¸

Min River Valley

The winding Min River carving through the dense, forested mountains of Fujian as you descend into Fuzhou.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a great view of the inland mountain ranges, which are particularly beautiful during autumn when the foliage changes. Keep an eye out for the dramatic cliff faces of the Yandang range midway through the flight.
