Bohai Bay Coastline
Vantage point of the northern industrial ports and the expansive mudflats where land meets the Bohai Sea.
Yangtze River Estuary
Observe the dramatic transition where the silt-heavy Yangtze River flows into the blue East China Sea.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
A chance to see the 36-kilometer-long trans-oceanic bridge spanning the bay in a distinct S-curve.
Zhoushan Archipelago
A stunning collection of emerald-green islands and busy shipping lanes dotting the turquoise waters.
Fujian Coastal Bays
Intricate jagged coastlines featuring expansive aquaculture farms and traditional fishing villages near Xiamen.
For the best visibility of the coastline, choose a morning flight to keep the sun behind you. The transition from the muddy Yellow Sea to the clearer East China Sea is most visible mid-flight. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 70 minutes into the flight for the Yangtze River Delta and the Shanghai outskirts.

A vast patchwork of agricultural fields that illustrates the scale of China's heartland farming.
Yellow River Crossing
The iconic 'Mother River' is easily identified by its unique yellowish-brown sediment-rich water.
Wuyi Mountain Range
Rolling green peaks and deep forested valleys as the flight crosses into the mountainous Fujian province.
Xiamen Island Approach
Views of the Gaoqi district, urban bridges, and the high-density residential areas of mainland Xiamen.
