TYN → FOC
Which side of the plane to sit from Taiyuan Wusu Airport (Taiyuan) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most diverse geographic views, including the crossing of the Yellow River, the expansive Poyang Lake, and the scenic descent over the Min River delta into Fuzhou.
Taihang Mountains
Aerial views of the rugged eastern edge of the Loess Plateau shortly after takeoff from Taiyuan.
Yellow River
A clear view of the 'Mother River' as the flight passes over the Henan province section.
North China Plain
Vast stretches of organized agricultural land and high-density urban clusters in central China.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake is often visible in Jiangxi province, showcasing intricate wetlands.
Wuyi Mountains
The lush, green peaks of the UNESCO World Heritage site as the flight enters Fujian airspace.
Fuzhou Coastline
On the final approach, enjoy views of the Min River meeting the East China Sea.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the glisten of Poyang Lake. Look out approximately 50-60 minutes into the flight for the best river crossings. Choosing a seat in front of the wing (Rows 6-12) ensures an unobstructed view of the coastal terrain during the descent into FOC.
Loess Plateau Edges
Deeply eroded silt landscapes characteristic of the Shanxi region immediately after departure.
Zhengzhou Outskirts
The western periphery of the major Henan transport hub and its industrial expansion.
Yangtze River
A distant but impressive view of the winding Yangtze as the aircraft traverses central China.
Lushan Mountain Area
The silhouette of the famous Lushan range often appears to the west during the mid-flight segment.
Fujian Highlands
Layers of misty, mountainous terrain that define the interior of Fujian province.
Fuzhou Western Suburbs
The dense urban landscape and hilly terrain surrounding the western side of the city.
The right side is perfect for sunset views on late afternoon departures, as the sun sets over the inland mountains. During autumn and winter, visibility is often better on this side due to prevailing winds clearing smog. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the dramatic mountain-to-city transition.
