SWAYIW

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more diverse landscape, combining views of the rugged Fujian coastline, major urban centers like Fuzhou, and the extensive logistics infrastructure upon arrival in Yiwu.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

East China Sea Horizon

Distant views of the coastline where the rugged mountains meet the sea.

🏙️

Fuzhou Metropolitan Area

A clear aerial view of the Min River delta and the sprawling urban layout of Fuzhou.

⛰️

Daiyun Mountains

The 'Backbone of Central Fujian,' featuring sharp peaks and dramatic topographical changes.

📦

Yiwu International Trade City

During the final approach, you can see the massive logistics hubs and market complexes that drive global trade.

Sit on the right for the best urban and coastal views. Morning flights offer a spectacular sunrise over the Pacific horizon. During the descent into Yiwu, keep your camera ready for the vast 'Small Commodity' market buildings which are easily identifiable by their unique architecture.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
⛰️

Wuyi Mountain Foothills

Lush green ridges and deep valleys marking the transition between Fujian and Jiangxi provinces.

🏞️

Upper Min River

Winding river systems that carve through the inland mountainous terrain of northern Fujian.

🌲

Zhejiang Forest Reserves

Dense subtropical evergreen forests that characterize the southern part of Zhejiang province.

Choose this side for consistent mountain scenery. In the early morning, the valleys are often filled with low-lying mist, creating a traditional Chinese ink-wash painting effect. Look for terraced tea plantations as you cross the Fujian-Zhejiang border.
