Which side of the plane to sit from Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (Xiamen) to Yangzhou Taizhou Airport (Yangzhou)?
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.
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.
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.
