Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a spectacular perspective of the South China Sea coastline, featuring a sequence of major bays, offshore islands, and the iconic urban landscape of Xiamen before arriving in Fuzhou.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌉

Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge

A stunning aerial view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge just after departure.

🏝️

Nan'ao Island

Spot the large island off the coast of Shantou with its distinctive bridge and wind farms.

🏙️

Xiamen Island Skyline

A clear view of Xiamen's modern skyline and the famous UNESCO site Gulangyu Island.

🌊

Taiwan Strait Horizon

Gaze out at the vast blue waters of the strait with numerous cargo ships and fishing fleets.

🌬️

Offshore Wind Farms

Massive arrays of white wind turbines standing in the sea along the Fujian coastline.

The Right Side is significantly more scenic for coastal geography. Book a morning flight for the best lighting on the water and islands. Ensure you look out about 15-20 minutes before landing to see the beautiful Meizhou Bay and the intricate coastline around Putian.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Pearl River Delta Urban Hub

Witness the massive urban sprawl of Zhuhai, Zhongshan, and Dongguan shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Lianhua Mountain Range

View the rugged green peaks of eastern Guangdong as the flight tracks northeast.

🏘️

Chaoshan Metropolitan Area

See the dense residential clusters of Jieyang and Chaozhou nestled in the river valleys.

🏞️

Min River Valley

As you descend, enjoy the sight of the winding Min River cutting through the Fujian mountains.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is better for spotting the transition from the flat delta to the mountainous terrain of the Fujian province. Keep an eye out for the specific terraced landscape unique to this region during the middle of the flight.
