Which side of the plane to sit from Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the dramatic transition from the North China Plain to the intricate coastlines and emerald islands of the East China Sea during the descent into Fuzhou.
Yellow River Estuary
Shortly after departure, observe where the silt-heavy waters of the Yellow River meet the Bohai Sea.
Lianyungang Coast
Views of the major port city and the rugged coastal cliffs bordering the Yellow Sea.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
One of the longest trans-oceanic bridges in the world spanning the vast Hangzhou Bay.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A stunning collection of hundreds of islands scattered across the East China Sea.
Ningbo-Zhoushan Port
Bird's-eye view of one of the world's busiest cargo hubs with massive container ships.
Fujian Coastline
The final approach reveals the jagged, emerald-green coastline and aquaculture farms of northern Fujian.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Pacific horizon. During the descent into Fuzhou, keep your camera ready for the intricate patterns of seaweed and oyster farms visible in the shallow coastal waters. The coastline is particularly vibrant in the late spring when the vegetation is lush.
Mount Tai
Look west shortly after takeoff to see the granite peaks of China's most sacred Taoist mountain.
Lake Taihu
A massive freshwater lake in the Yangtze Delta known for its unique limestone formations.
Yangtze River Crossing
Watch the mighty Yangtze River wind through the industrial heartland of Anhui and Jiangsu.
Huangshan Peaks
Distances views of the legendary 'Yellow Mountain' granite peaks rising above the clouds.
Wuyi Mountains
Deep green ridges and mist-covered valleys famous for producing high-quality Oolong tea.
Min River Valley
The winding Min River leading the aircraft directly into the Fuzhou basin for landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while viewing the inland mountain ranges. Mount Tai is usually visible within the first 15-20 minutes of flight. If flying during the golden hour, the sunlight hitting the Wuyi Mountain ridges creates dramatic shadows and highlights.
