CAN → JUH
Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Jiuhuashan Airport (Chizhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers unparalleled views of China's most sacred mountain ranges, including the Wuyi Mountains and the final approach into the spectacular Jiuhua Mountain area.
Wuyi Mountains
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic peaks and biodiversity along the Fujian border.
Dongjiang Reservoir
The deep blue waters of this massive lake surrounded by dense green forestry.
Huangshan (Yellow Mountain)
If visibility is high and the path is slightly east, the iconic granite peaks and 'sea of clouds' are visible.
Mount Jiuhua
One of the four sacred mountains of Chinese Buddhism, visible during the descent into Chizhou.
Yangtze River Valley
The fertile plains and heavy industrial shipping traffic of the Yangtze River as the plane descends.
The Right Side is essential for the approach into JUH to catch a glimpse of the mountain temples. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the mountain ranges. Try to sit away from the wing (Rows 1-8 or 20+) for an unobstructed view of the peaks.
Guangzhou Skyline
Detailed views of the Pearl River Delta's urban expansion and skyscrapers immediately after takeoff.
Danxia Landforms
View the unique red-colored sandstone cliffs and rock formations in northern Guangdong province.
Nanchang Urban Area
The capital of Jiangxi province and the wide Gan River flowing through the city center.
Poyang Lake
Distant views of China's largest freshwater lake, particularly vibrant during the summer high-water season.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while observing the inland river systems of Jiangxi. Look for the massive Gan River bridge systems during the mid-flight phase.
