A massive inlet of the East China Sea; on clear days, you may spot the cross-sea bridge structures.
Ningbo & Zhoushan Coast
Observe one of the world's busiest port areas with numerous cargo ships dotting the coastline.
Fujian Archipelago
The rugged coastline of Fujian with its numerous small islands and aquaculture farms near Wenzhou and Ningde.
Xiamen Island Approach
As you descend, enjoy a panoramic view of the Xiamen skyline, the sea-crossing bridges, and the busy harbor.
Sit on the left for the best coastal views. For morning flights, the sun will be on the left, so keep the window shade partially down to avoid glare. The final approach into XMN often involves a turn over the water, providing a great view of the Jimei School Village and Xiamen's urban layout.

Jiangsu Lowlands
A patchwork of emerald green rice paddies and intricate canal networks characteristic of the region.
Taihu Lake Distant View
Depending on the flight path, the eastern edge of China's third-largest freshwater lake may be visible.
Zhejiang & Fujian Mountains
View the rolling, mist-covered peaks of the Wuyi Mountain range and the dense forests of inland Fujian.
Min River
The winding path of the Min River as it cuts through the mountainous terrain of northern Fujian.
Choose the right side if you are flying in the late afternoon to enjoy a beautiful sunset over the Fujian mountains. This side provides a more 'green' landscape view compared to the blue coastal views of the left. It's also better for avoiding direct sun glare on morning flights.
