Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior view of the dramatic Fujian coastline, numerous islands, and the expansive Taiwan Strait during the flight's northeasterly trajectory.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
đŸī¸

Dapeng Peninsula

Beautiful rugged coastline and clear waters near the eastern edge of Shenzhen shortly after departure.

🌊

Nan'ao Island

A prominent island near Shantou known for its cross-sea bridge and scenic wind turbines along the ridges.

đŸ–ī¸

Xiamen & Gulangyu

Spectacular bird's-eye view of the island city, its modern bridges, and the famous Gulangyu pedestrian island.

⚓

Meizhou Bay

Deep-water ports and the sacred Meizhou Island, recognized as the birthplace of the sea goddess Mazu.

đŸšĸ

Taiwan Strait

On clear days, the vast blue waters are dotted with fishing vessels and large cargo ships heading to international ports.

🌊

Min River Estuary

The dramatic meeting of the Min River and the East China Sea just before the final approach into Fuzhou.

Choose a window seat here for afternoon flights to potentially catch the sun reflecting off the Taiwan Strait. The descent into Fuzhou Changle often follows the coastline, providing an excellent view of the river delta. Be aware that coastal fog in early spring can sometimes obscure the islands.
