Which side of the plane to sit from Anqing Tianzhushan Airport (Anqing) to Haikou Meilan International Airport (Haikou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic landscape transitions, featuring the massive Poyang Lake shortly after departure and a spectacular coastal approach over the Qiongzhou Strait into Hainan.
Yangtze River Bend
Immediate views of the winding Yangtze River as the flight departs from Anqing.
Poyang Lake
Aerial view of China's largest freshwater lake, showcasing its vast wetlands and seasonal water levels.
Luoxiao Mountains
Fly over the lush, green peaks of the Jiangxi and Hunan border region.
Ganzhou Cityscape
A clear view of the historic city of Ganzhou situated at the confluence of the Gan and Zhang rivers.
Qiongzhou Strait
The beautiful blue passage of water separating mainland China from Hainan Island during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after takeoff to capture the scale of Poyang Lake. During the descent into Haikou, this side provides the best view of the open South China Sea.
Mufu Mountains
Rugged terrain and deep valleys located along the Anhui and Hubei border.
Nanling Mountain Range
The natural boundary between Central and South China, often covered in mist.
Leizhou Peninsula
View the red-soil landscapes and agricultural patchwork of China's southernmost peninsula.
Zhanjiang Port
A distant look at the deep-water port and naval base on the edge of the Guangdong coast.
Haikou Western Coast
As the plane banks for landing, enjoy views of the modern resorts and beaches along Haikou's western shoreline.
The right side is superior for sunset flights, offering golden hour views over the Gulf of Tonkin. Watch for the distinct change in soil color as you cross the Leizhou Peninsula, which features unique volcanic geology and red earth.
