Which side of the plane to sit from Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (Xiamen) to Changzhou Benniu Airport (Changzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the rugged Fujian mountains shortly after takeoff and a stunning panoramic view of Taihu Lake during the final descent into Changzhou.
Xiamen Island Coastline
Directly after takeoff, catch a sweeping view of the Xiamen port and the surrounding coastal bridges.
Wuyi Mountain Foothills
As you fly north, the dense, misty peaks of the inland Fujian and Zhejiang mountain ranges dominate the horizon.
Taihu Lake Western Shore
On the descent, witness the vast expanse of Taihu Lake, one of China's largest freshwater lakes, appearing on the left.
Changzhou Urban Core
A clear view of the rapidly developing city center and the distinctive modern skyscrapers as the plane aligns with the runway.
Opt for the left side for the best lake views. If the flight is in the late afternoon, the sun will be behind you or to the left, often creating beautiful reflections on Taihu Lake. Morning flights offer crisp views of the mountainous terrain in northern Fujian.
East China Sea Coast
Distant views of the winding coastline and major port facilities near Ningbo and Wenzhou.
Hangzhou Bay Distant View
On clear days, the massive infrastructure connecting the Yangtze Delta can be seen in the distance to the east.
Yangtze River Delta Plains
A dense patchwork of agricultural land and industrial hubs characterizes the approach from the east.
Grand Canal Network
Spot the intricate network of ancient and modern canals that crisscross the landscape near Suzhou and Changzhou.
The right side is excellent for observing the high-density urbanization of the Yangtze River Delta. During midday flights, the lighting is generally neutral, but expect some glare if flying during the early morning as the sun rises over the Pacific.
