πŸ–οΈ

Daya Bay

Deep blue waters and white sand beaches located just east of Shenzhen and Huizhou.

🏝️

Nan'ao Island

A large, distinctively shaped island near Shantou featuring a prominent cross-sea bridge.

πŸ™οΈ

Xiamen & Kinmen

Clear views of Xiamen's coastal skyline and the nearby Kinmen Islands in the Taiwan Strait.

βš“

Quanzhou Bay

A historic maritime hub where several major bridges span the wide coastal inlets.

πŸ—Ύ

Zhoushan Archipelago

During the final descent into Ningbo, witness the cluster of hundreds of islands that make up this coastal chain.

This is the superior side for coastal photography. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun illuminates the coastline from the east. Look for the massive wind farms located in the Taiwan Strait midway through the flight. During the descent into NGB, watch for the massive cargo ships entering the Ningbo-Zhoushan port, one of the world's busiest.
