Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a direct view of the spectacular Wuyi Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the unique Danxia landforms of Fujian before a scenic descent over the Xiamen coastline.

☯️

Mount Qiyun

One of the Four Sacred Mountains of Taoism, visible shortly after departing from Huangshan.

🍵

Wuyi Mountains

Dazzling views of the jagged peaks and tea-growing valleys of the Wuyi range, famous for Da Hong Pao tea.

🧱

Taining Danxia

Unique red-rock geological formations and deep canyons typical of the Fujian Danxia landscape.

🐍

Jiulong River

The meandering path of the 'Nine Dragons' river as it flows through the lush valleys toward Zhangzhou.

🏢

Xiamen Haicang

Close-up views of the modern skyline of Haicang District and the busy Xiamen port facilities during landing.

The right side is unbeatable for mountain lovers. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the red Danxia cliffs. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic mountain scenery.

⛰️

Huangshan Peaks

Aerial view of the iconic granite peaks and ancient pines of the Yellow Mountain range shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Fuzhou Outskirts

The eastern edges of the Fuzhou basin, where the Min River winds through the coastal mountains.

🌊

Vast views of the blue waters between mainland China and Taiwan as you track south along the coast.

🌉

Quanzhou Bay

Clear views of the expansive bridges and bustling ports near the historic city of Quanzhou.

🏝️

Kinmen Island

On a clear day, Kinmen Island is visible to the east during the final approach into Xiamen.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh direct sunlight. This side is superior for spotting the shimmering coastline and the numerous islands scattered across the Taiwan Strait during the descent.
