Which side of the plane to sit from Liuting Airport (Qingdao) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Chinese coastline, the transition from the Yellow Sea to the East China Sea, and the dense Zhoushan Archipelago.
Yellow Sea Coastline
Aerial views of the rugged Shandong Peninsula and the blue waters of the Yellow Sea immediately after takeoff.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A stunning collection of hundreds of islands and bridges scattered across the East China Sea near Ningbo.
Hangzhou Bay
On clear days, see the expansive bay and the faint silhouette of the Donghai Bridge or nearby maritime traffic.
Lianyungang Port
View the massive industrial port facilities and the mountain-meets-sea geography of northern Jiangsu.
East China Sea Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the ocean horizon, which are particularly beautiful during morning flights with the sunrise.
Book an early morning flight to catch the sun rising over the Pacific horizon. The coastal transition near the Yangtze River estuary often shows a distinct color change in the water from silt-heavy brown to deep ocean blue.
Yangtze River Delta
Fly over the dense urban clusters of Suzhou, Wuxi, and the outskirts of the Shanghai metropolitan area.
Lake Tai (Taihu)
The massive expanse of China's third-largest freshwater lake is a prominent landmark visible mid-flight.
Zhejiang Highlands
As the flight progresses south, the flat plains give way to the rolling green hills and tea plantations of Zhejiang.
Jiangsu Canal Network
Look for the intricate patterns of ancient and modern canals that crisscross the agricultural heartland.
Min River Valley
Follow the winding Min River as it snakes through the mountainous terrain of Fujian during the descent into Fuzhou.
The right side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for Lake Tai, which is a massive and unmistakable landmark. During the descent, the mountain valleys of Fujian offer a dramatic change from the flat northern plains.
