Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the East China Sea coastline, the intricate Zhoushan Archipelago, and a clear view of the Yangtze River Delta as you approach the destination.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Fujian Coastline

The jagged coastline of Fujian with its numerous bays, aquaculture farms, and white sand beaches.

🏝️

Zhoushan Archipelago

A stunning cluster of hundreds of islands scattered across the blue waters of the East China Sea.

🌉

Hangzhou Bay Bridge

The massive S-shaped trans-oceanic bridge spanning the bay is a feat of engineering visible from high altitude.

🏙️

Shanghai Skyline

From a distance, the towers of Lujiazui including the Shanghai Tower can be seen peeking through the clouds.

🚢

Yangtze River Estuary

The massive waterway filled with cargo ships marks the transition into the Jiangsu plains before landing.

The right side is superior for maritime enthusiasts. Morning flights offer the best illumination of the coastline and islands. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Yangtze River, as the contrast between the muddy river water and the green delta is striking.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Xiamen Island

Aerial view of Xiamen's urban sprawl and the historic Gulangyu Island immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountains

The rugged, mist-covered peaks of northern Fujian provide a dramatic landscape during the mid-flight segment.

🛶

Hangzhou West Lake

On clear days, the iconic UNESCO site and Hangzhou's modern skyline are visible to the west.

🌊

Taihu Lake

One of China's largest freshwater lakes appearing as a vast silver expanse near the Jiangsu border.

🏘️

Yangzhou Old Town

The dense traditional architecture and the Slim West Lake area visible during the final descent.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the mountain silhouettes. It is the best side for viewing the historic layout of Yangzhou's water-based urban planning during the approach.
