Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most dramatic mountain scenery, including the famous Lushan National Park and the granite peaks of Tianzhushan during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Nanling Mountain Range

Rugged, forested peaks forming the natural border between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.

⛰️

Lushan National Park

A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its spiritual significance and mist-covered sheer cliffs.

🏙️

Jiujiang Urban Area

A clear view of the city where the Yangtze River meets the northern tip of Poyang Lake.

🌊

Yangtze River Bends

The winding 'Golden Waterway' as it meanders through the plains of southern Anhui.

🧗

Tianzhu Mountain

Striking granite pillars and deep valleys that serve as the namesake for Anqing's airport.

Choose the left side for superior mountain views. Early morning flights often provide the best visibility of Lushan's peaks before clouds roll in. During the descent into AQG, keep your camera ready for the dramatic rock formations of Tianzhushan located to the northwest of the airport.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Guangzhou CBD

Excellent views of the Canton Tower and the Pearl River skyline shortly after takeoff from CAN.

💧

Wanlu Lake

A massive, emerald-green reservoir in Heyuan known for its crystal clear water and 360 islands.

🛶

Poyang Lake

The largest freshwater lake in China, featuring vast wetlands that change significantly with the seasons.

🏢

Nanchang Skyline

Distant views of the Gan River and the high-rises of Jiangxi's capital city.

🚢

Yangtze River Traffic

Observe the intense maritime activity with hundreds of cargo vessels navigating the river near Anqing.

The right side is best for observing China's water systems. Poyang Lake is a highlight; in winter, you can see the receding water levels exposing unique grassland patterns. Note that afternoon flights will have direct sun on this side, which can make photography difficult due to glare.
