A vast collection of islands scattered across the East China Sea shortly after departure.
Sanmen Bay
Deeply indented coastline featuring a mix of aquaculture farms and rugged headlands.

Opt for a morning flight to see the sun rising over the East China Sea. Seat yourself behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the coastline and the intricate patterns of the seafloor in shallow coastal waters.
