Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular coastal panoramic view during departure from Xiamen and the premier vantage point for the legendary Huangshan mountain range during the descent into Tunxi.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🌊

Xiamen Bay & Kinmen

Clear views of the Xiamen coastline and the nearby Kinmen Island immediately following departure from Gaoqi.

🍵

Anxi Tea Plantations

The terraced hillsides of Anxi, famous for Tieguanyin tea, creating unique geometric patterns on the landscape.

🏔️

Yellow Mountain Massif

The iconic granite peaks and pine-covered ridges of Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) visible during the northern approach.

🏯

Huizhou Villages

Classic white-walled, black-tiled architecture of traditional Huizhou-style villages scattered throughout the valleys of southern Anhui.

Sit on the right side for the definitive view of the 'Sea of Clouds' over Huangshan during descent. For evening flights, this side catches the golden hour light reflecting off the granite peaks. Aim for a seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Anhui mountain valleys.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Xiamen Urban Sprawl

Bird's-eye view of Xiamen's dense urban core, including the Haicang District and the massive Xiamen Bridge systems shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountain Range

Aerial perspective of the UNESCO World Heritage Wuyi Mountains, characterized by deep green valleys and rugged peaks.

🏞️

Jiulong River Basin

The winding silver ribbons of the Jiulong River as it carves through the mountainous terrain of northern Fujian province.

Recommended for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography of the inland mountain ranges. Look for the distinct circular shapes of Fujian Tulou (earth buildings) if the flight path tracks slightly westward.
