SZX â FOC
Which side of the plane to sit from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (Shenzhen) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Shenzhen Skyline
A panoramic view of the skyscrapers and the dense urban grid of Nanshan and Futian districts immediately after takeoff.
Guangdong Hills
The rolling green mountain ranges of eastern Guangdong province that border the coastal plains.
Chaoshan Metro
The sprawling interconnected urban areas of Shantou and Chaozhou visible from high altitude.
Fujian Mountains
Dense forest cover and steep terrain as the flight moves further into the heart of Fujian province.
Quanzhou City
Historical architecture and the modern expansion of this ancient maritime Silk Road hub.
Best for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. Keep an eye out for the rapid transition from the concrete jungle of the Pearl River Delta to the green hills of Fujian.
