XMN → XUZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (Xiamen) to Xuzhou Guanyin Airport (Xuzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the intricate Fujian coastline during departure and spectacular vistas of the Yangtze River and Hongze Lake as you transition into the North China Plain.
Fujian Coastline
Bird's-eye views of the winding bays and industrial ports near Quanzhou and Putian.
Yangtze River Crossing
A magnificent view of the Yangtze River near the Nanjing corridor, featuring major bridge infrastructure.
Hongze Lake
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, appearing as a massive blue mirror on the Jiangsu border.
Xuzhou Approach
Views of the Yunlong Lake and the expanding urban industrial clusters of southern Xuzhou during descent.
This is the preferred side for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side. The highlight is the crossing of the Yangtze River; look for the distinct color difference in the water and the heavy shipping traffic. In winter, the visibility over the Jiangsu lakes is often at its peak.
Xiamen Island
A stunning aerial view of Gulangyu Island and the Xiamen coastline immediately after takeoff.
Wuyi Mountains
The rugged, tea-producing mountainous terrain of northern Fujian and southern Jiangxi.
Hefei Metropolitan Area
The dense urban landscape of Anhui's capital city appearing mid-flight.
Huai River Basin
The transition into the vast, flat agricultural patterns that define the northern Anhui border.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the soft light hitting the Fujian mountains. Watch for the dramatic change from terraced hills to the perfectly flat plains of the North China Plain about 45 minutes into the flight.
