Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights

⛰️

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.
