Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more iconic perspective, featuring the legendary peaks of Huangshan (Mount Huang), the winding Taiping Lake, and a spectacular crossing of the Yangtze River as the flight approaches central China.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Northern Taiwan Coast

Initial views of the Tamsui River mouth and the rugged northern coastline of Taiwan shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Mount Huang (Huangshan)

One of China's most famous scenic spots, recognizable by its unique granite peaks and sea of clouds.

🏞️

Taiping Lake

A stunning, elongated reservoir situated at the northern foot of Huangshan, featuring turquoise waters.

🌉

Yangtze River Crossing

A grand view of the 'Golden Waterway' and the massive bridges connecting the north and south banks near Wuhu.

🏙️

Hefei Urban Sprawl

The rapid expansion of Anhui's capital city, including new high-rise districts and industrial parks on approach.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. Sit here during morning flights for the best illumination on Mount Huang. You should start looking for the peaks roughly 35-45 minutes before landing. If weather is clear, the contrast between the Yangtze River and the surrounding industrial cities is particularly impressive.

7.2
🌊

Taiwan Strait

An expansive view of the deep blue waters separating the island of Taiwan from the Asian mainland.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountain Range

Aerial views of the UNESCO-listed peaks known for their lush tea plantations and dramatic cliff faces.

🏙️

Fuzhou Suburbs

The dense urban development and winding Min River located in the valley between coastal mountains.

🌾

Anhui Farmlands

A mosaic of agricultural plots and traditional villages that characterize the rural landscape of Anhui province.

Choose this side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. The descent provides an excellent view of the agricultural transition from mountainous Fujian to the flatter plains of Anhui. Keep an eye out for the distinct geometric patterns of the rice paddies during the spring and summer months.
