Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic granite peaks of the Huangshan massif and the emerald waters of Qiandao Lake during the descent into Tunxi.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏞️

Dongjiang Reservoir

Large, deep-blue water bodies nestled within the lush, mountainous terrain of eastern Guangdong.

🏔️

Wuyi Mountain Range

The rugged ridgeline of the Wuyi mountains visible on the distant horizon towards the east.

💧

Qiandao Lake

The spectacular 'Thousand Island Lake' with its numerous forested islands scattered across turquoise waters.

⛰️

Huangshan Peaks

The iconic granite spires and ancient pine forests of the Yellow Mountains visible during the final approach.

🏠

Huizhou Architecture

The distinct white-walled and black-tiled traditional villages scattered throughout the Anhui valleys.

This is the best side for photography of the Yellow Mountains' famous 'Sea of Clouds' if the weather conditions are right. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly illuminated views of the peaks and Qiandao Lake without lens glare.

Left Side Highlights

🏙️

Guangzhou Northern Periphery

Aerial views of the dense urban development giving way to the Baiyun mountain range shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Danxia Landform

Distant glimpses of the unique red sandstone cliffs and ridges of northern Guangdong province.

🌊

Gan River Basin

The main waterway of Jiangxi province winding through fertile agricultural plains and industrial hubs.

🏙️

Ganzhou Cityscape

A clear view of the historic city situated at the confluence of the Gong and Zhang rivers.

Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to catch the soft golden hour light reflecting off the Jiangxi river networks. During the winter months, look for occasional snow caps on the higher peaks of the northern Guangdong border.
