Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer unique views, the Right Side is generally superior for its dramatic inland geography, including the sacred Mount Tai in Shandong and the breathtaking, mist-shrouded Wuyi Mountains as you descend into Fujian.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
⛰️

Mount Tai (Taishan)

The most sacred of the Five Great Mountains of China, visible as a prominent peak in Shandong province.

🌊

Yangtze River Crossing

A spectacular view of the wide Yangtze River as the flight path moves into central-eastern China.

🛶

Taihu Lake

One of the largest freshwater lakes in China, known for its limestone formations and scenic islands.

🍃

Wuyi Mountain Range

Dramatic karst landscapes and lush green peaks that are famous for producing Oolong tea.

🏞️

Min River Valley

The winding river valley that guides the aircraft's final approach into Fuzhou Changle Airport.

🏙️

Nanjing Urban Grids

The sprawling urban landscape and historical layout of the ancient capital of Nanjing.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour light hitting the Fujian mountains. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain from the flat North China Plain to the rugged, forested hills of the south. High-altitude visibility is usually better over the inland mountains than the humid coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Bohai Bay Coastline

Vast views of the Bohai Sea shoreline immediately after departing the Tianjin area.

🏙️

Qingdao Peninsula

Distant views of the rugged Shandong coastline and the port city of Qingdao.

🌉

Yangtze River Mouth

The massive, silt-heavy delta where the Yangtze River meets the East China Sea.

🏝️

Fujian Coastal Islands

A beautiful array of small islands and aquaculture farms dotting the coastline near Fuzhou.

🚢

Ningbo-Zhoushan Port

One of the world's busiest port areas with hundreds of cargo ships visible on the horizon.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is best for observing the transition from the North China Plain to the Pacific coastline. Keep an eye out for the massive bridge networks spanning the various bays along the eastern seaboard.
