WUH â FOC
Which side of the plane to sit from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (Wuhan) to Fuzhou Changle International Airport (Fuzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Wuyi Mountain range and the winding Gan River, providing a more rugged and scenic landscape compared to the flatter northern regions visible on the left.
Nanchang Skyline
A clear view of the Jiangxi provincial capital and its rapidly growing urban center along the water.
The Gan River
Follow the serpentine path of this major tributary as it feeds into the Yangtze basin.
Wuyi Mountains UNESCO Site
The absolute highlight, featuring dramatic karst formations and dense, subtropical forests.
Fujian Tea Valleys
Deep, mist-shrouded valleys home to some of the world's most expensive Oolong tea plantations.
Min River Estuary
Aerial views of the massive river that defines the Fuzhou landscape during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for mountain photography. Aim for a mid-afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western faces of the Wuyi Mountains. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the dramatic elevation changes as the plane enters Fujian province.
Yangtze River Bend
Catch a glimpse of the mighty Yangtze looping south of Wuhan immediately after takeoff.
Poyang Lake North
View the northern expanses of China's largest freshwater lake, especially vibrant during the wet season.
Jingdezhen Region
Fly over the rolling hills surrounding the world-famous porcelain capital of China.
Northern Wuyi Slopes
Observe the transition from the Jiangxi plains into the high-altitude tea-growing regions.
Ningde Coastline
On clear days during the descent, look east to see the indented coastline of the East China Sea.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is particularly rewarding in the late afternoon when the sun reflects off the surface of Poyang Lake, creating a golden mirror effect across the wetlands.
