Xiamen Urban Core
Bird's-eye view of Xiamen Island's western districts, the Haicang Bridge, and the bustling international shipping port.
Jiulong River Delta
Lush green agricultural patterns and winding waterways as the flight moves inland toward Zhangzhou.
Central Fujian Highlands
Dense, mist-shrouded forest peaks of the Daiyun Mountain range that dominate the interior of the province.
Wuyishan National Park
The world-famous '36 peaks' and dramatic Danxia landforms visible as the plane descends into Nanping.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Xiamen city skyline shortly after takeoff. For the arrival, if the plane lands from the south (Runway 03), the peaks of the National Park will be prominently visible out of the left window during the final 5-10 minutes of the flight. Morning flights are ideal to catch the sunrise over the mountains without the afternoon haze.
