XUZ → XMN
Which side of the plane to sit from Xuzhou Guanyin Airport (Xuzhou) to Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (Xiamen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of China's rugged interior, featuring the dramatic peaks of the Wuyi Mountains and the intricate river systems of Fujian province.
Wuyi Mountains
Stunning UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic karst peaks and deep gorges.
Fujian Tea Hills
The characteristic terraced green hills that produce some of the world's finest Oolong teas.
Min River Valley
The winding course of the Min River as it cuts through the mountainous terrain of northern Fujian.
Fujian Tulou
Potential distant glimpses of the unique circular earthen communal dwellings in the southern Fujian hills.
Xiamen Island Entry
Breathtaking views of the Haicang Bridge and the modern skyline of Xiamen's western districts upon arrival.
The right side is highly recommended for afternoon flights when the sun illuminates the Wuyi Mountain range. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to fully appreciate the dramatic topography of the Fujian interior. During the descent, you'll likely see the impressive bridges connecting Xiamen Island to the mainland.
Hongze Lake
View of one of the largest freshwater lakes in China during the initial phase of the flight.
Yangtze River Delta
A sprawling network of waterways and industrial hubs as you cross over the Yangtze River.
Fuzhou Coastline
Views of the Fujian coastline and the mouth of the Min River near Fuzhou.
Taiwan Strait
Expansive views of the blue waters of the strait as the plane begins its descent into Xiamen.
Quanzhou Ports
Distant views of the busy shipping lanes and ports of the historic maritime Silk Road city.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to enjoy the hazy beauty of the East China Sea coastline. It is particularly good for seeing the transition from the flat plains of Jiangsu to the rugged Fujian coast.
