Stunning aerial views of the Yangtze River winding through the steep gorges near Wanzhou.
Wu Mountains
Rugged limestone peaks and deep valleys marking the transition from Chongqing into Central China.

Northern Wuyi Range
The dramatic UNESCO-listed peaks known for their unique rock formations and tea plantations.
Xiamen North Coast
Views of the developing industrial zones and the crossing bridges connecting the island to the mainland.
Sit on the left for the best morning light; the sun will be on the opposite side, providing clear, high-contrast views of the Yangtze. This side is also superior for spotting the hidden valleys of the Wuyi Mountains during the descent phase. Keep your camera ready within the first 15 minutes of departure for the river views.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. It offers a broader view of the coastline and the Taiwan Strait during the final approach. If the flight lands from the south (over the water), the right side provides a great view of the Xiamen island perimeter and the sea.
