CANSHE

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the inland mountain ranges and the expansive North China Plain, particularly during the descent where the Yanshan foothills are visible.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Nanling Mountains

Rugged karst and granite peaks marking the transition out of the Pearl River basin.

🏙️

Wuhan Metropolis

A bird's-eye view of the winding Yangtze River and the densely populated Hubei province.

🌾

Central Plains

Endless patterns of farmlands that define the agricultural heart of China.

🏔️

Yanshan Range

The dramatic mountain barrier that separates the North China Plain from the Northeast.

🌆

Shenyang Approach

Broad views of the Hun River and the dense urban grid of the Liaoning capital.

Choose an A seat for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is especially rewarding in winter when the North China Plain is often dusted with snow, highlighting the field patterns. Watch for the Great Wall's mountain silhouettes north of Beijing if the air is clear.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
💧

Poyang Lake

The shimmering expanse of China's largest freshwater lake near Nanchang.

🚤

Yangtze River Bend

Deep blue waters of the Yangtze as the route crosses between Anhui and Jiangsu.

🏖️

Bohai Coastline

The transition from land to the yellow-blue waters of the Bohai Sea near Tianjin.

🚢

Liaodong Gulf

Busy shipping lanes filled with tankers and cargo ships heading to northern ports.

🏢

Liaoning Coast

The industrialized shoreline of Yingkou and Panjin during the final descent phase.

The F seat is best for late afternoon flights to enjoy the soft golden hour light reflecting off the water. Keep an eye out for the vast wetlands of the Liaohe Delta, which turn a vibrant red in autumn.
