Which side of the plane to sit from Tianjin Binhai International Airport (Tianjin) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
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.
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.
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.
