Which side of the plane to sit from Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (Xiamen) to Sunan Shuofang International Airport (Wuxi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning Fujian coastline, the expansive East China Sea, and a clear view of the architectural marvel that is the Hangzhou Bay Bridge before reaching the Yangtze River Delta.
Fujian Coastline
Panoramic views of the jagged coastline, including Quanzhou and Fuzhou bays.
Hangzhou Bay Bridge
One of the longest trans-oceanic bridges in the world, visible as a thin line across the sea.
Shanghai Periphery
On clear days, the distant skyline of Shanghai and the massive urban sprawl of the Delta are visible.
East China Sea Ports
Dozens of cargo ships and fishing vessels dotted across the coastal waters near Ningbo.
Book a seat on the right for afternoon flights to avoid the direct western sun glare. The Hangzhou Bay Bridge is the highlight of this route; it typically appears about 20-30 minutes before landing. Look for the 'S' curve of the bridge extending across the water.
Fujian Highlands
Rugged green mountain ranges and deep valleys of inland Fujian shortly after takeoff.
Zhejiang River Systems
Winding rivers and agricultural basins through the heart of Zhejiang province.
Lake Tai (Taihu)
A massive, shimmering freshwater lake that dominates the view during the final descent into Wuxi.
Opt for an early morning flight to see the mist rising from the Fujian mountains. On the approach to Wuxi, stay alert for the massive expanse of Lake Tai; it is most vibrant when the sun is behind the aircraft in the late afternoon.
