Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged beauty of the Wuyi Mountains and a stunning perspective of the Yangtze River during the final descent into Anqing.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏖️

Kinmen Island

On a clear day, look east shortly after takeoff to see the outlines of Kinmen in the Taiwan Strait.

⛰️

Wuyishan National Park

Glimpse the iconic granite peaks and lush canyons of this UNESCO World Heritage site mid-flight.

🌊

The Yangtze River

Witness the immense scale of the Yangtze as it curves through the landscape near Anqing.

🏔️

Mount Tianzhu

The namesake mountain of the airport, known for its unique rock formations, visible on the approach from the south.

Choose the right side for the most dramatic geographic features. The Wuyishan area is best seen about 30-40 minutes into the flight. For the best photography of the Yangtze River, ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the right-side landscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Xiamen Cityscape

Aerial views of the dense Jimei and Haicang districts immediately after takeoff from Gaoqi.

🏞️

Min River Valley

Spot the winding path of Fujian's largest river system as the flight traverses the central province.

🏔️

Northern Fujian Highlands

Vast stretches of misty, forested mountains that define the border between Fujian and Jiangxi.

🌾

Anhui Floodplains

The landscape transforms into flat, fertile agricultural basins as the plane enters the Yangtze River valley.

Sit on the left for better views of Xiamen's urban architecture during departure. If the flight lands from the east, the left side will provide a panoramic view of the Anqing urban sprawl. Morning flights on this side avoid the direct glare of the eastern sun.
