XMN → JUZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (Xiamen) to Quzhou Airport (Quzhou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of Fujian's interior mountain ranges, including the world-famous Wuyi Mountains and the unique Danxia landforms of Jianglang Mountain near the descent into Quzhou.
Xiamen Island
Panoramic views of Xiamen's urban skyline and the Haicang Bridge immediately after departure from XMN.
Daiyun Mountains
Cruising over the rugged central spine of Fujian province with peaks often shrouded in mist.
Wuyi Mountains
Aerial perspective of the UNESCO-listed peaks and the winding Nine-Bend River valleys.
Jianglang Mountain
A striking view of the three massive vertical stone pillars, a signature Danxia landform, shortly before landing.
Sit on the left for a sunset flight to enjoy the warm glow over the mountains without direct sun glare. Morning flights provide the clearest views of the Wuyi range. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of flight for the Jianglangshan peaks.
Fujian Coastline
Glimpses of the Taiwan Strait and the irregular, beautiful coastline of Quanzhou and Putian.
Fuzhou Cityscape
A distant view of the Min River and the sprawling capital city of Fujian province.
Taimu Mountains
Unique granite rock formations near the coastal border of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces.
Zhejiang Woodlands
Lush green valleys and winding rivers characteristic of the Lishui and Jinhua regions.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the East China Sea. Be aware that coastal haze or sea fog can sometimes obscure the view in the spring and early summer months.
