Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Changzhou Benniu Airport (Changzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers the most dramatic views of the Yangtze River crossing and the sprawling water networks of the Yangtze River Delta during the descent into Changzhou.
Wuyi Mountain Range
The eastern horizon is dominated by the dense, green ridges of the Jiangxi-Fujian border.
Yangtze River Bend
A spectacular view of the Yangtze River as the plane crosses near the cities of Wuhu and Ma'anshan.
Taihu Lake
The massive expanse of Taihu Lake is often visible to the southeast during the final approach phase.
Jiangnan Canal Network
Intricate ancient and modern canal systems that define the geography of the Changzhou area.
For the best photography of the Yangtze River, sit on the right side and book a morning flight to ensure the sun illuminates the river's surface from the east. This side is also superior for spotting the dense urban cluster and water features surrounding Changzhou Benniu Airport during landing.
Nanling Mountains
The rugged, forested peaks marking the border between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.
Poyang Lake
Distanced views of China's largest freshwater lake shimmering to the northwest.
Nanjing Outskirts
The western suburban expansion and industrial zones of the Jiangsu capital.
Lu Mountain
The misty peaks of Lushan visible when the flight path stays closer to the Jiangxi interior.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the mountainous terrain of northern Guangdong to the flat, river-crossed plains of the Yangtze basin.
