Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more scenic departure from Xiamen's island geography and superior views of the Wuyi Mountain range and the vast Poyang Lake wetlands during the mid-flight segment.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Xiamen Coastal View

Stunning aerial perspective of Gulangyu Island and the Haicang District skyline immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Western Wuyi Mountains

Rugged UNESCO-protected peaks and deep valleys marking the border between Fujian and Jiangxi provinces.

🌊

Poyang Lake Wetlands

Aerial views of China's largest freshwater lake system and its complex network of seasonal tributaries.

🏞️

Han River Meanders

The winding turquoise waters of the Han River as the aircraft begins its final descent into Xiangyang.

Book an 'A' seat for the best coastal views on departure. For morning flights, this side is shielded from direct sunlight, offering better visibility of the Wuyi peaks. During summer, look for the 'Sea of Clouds' effect over the Fujian mountains.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌉

Jimei Cross-Sea Bridges

A bird's-eye view of the massive bridge infrastructure connecting Xiamen Island to the mainland.

🏔️

Taining Danxia Landforms

Unique red sandstone cliffs and canyons visible in the northwestern Fujian mountain corridors.

🚢

Yangtze River Crossing

The majestic scale of the Yangtze River as the flight crosses from Jiangxi into the Hubei heartland.

🏙️

Wuhan Distant Skyline

On clear days, the sprawling urban cluster of Wuhan is visible on the eastern horizon.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun moves west, illuminating the Yangtze River. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the Taining Danxia rock formations, which are best seen with the sun's high-angle light.
