Fujian Coastal Archipelago
Clear views of the jagged coastline and numerous islands near Xiamen and the Meizhou Bay area.
Taiwan Strait
Expansive views of the busy shipping lanes and the horizon where the East China Sea meets the sky.
Qiantang River Estuary
As you descend, witness the massive, funnel-shaped mouth of the Qiantang River, famous for its tidal bores.
Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center
On final approach, see the 'Big Lotus' stadium and the futuristic skyline of the Qianjiang New Town.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the sea. It also provides the best views of the Qiantang River's unique geography during landing. For the best photography, avoid seats directly over the wing as the coastal detail is most visible at lower altitudes.
