Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for China's massive inland water systems, including the expansive Poyang Lake and the majestic crossing of the Yangtze River delta region.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Pearl River Delta

Extensive aerial views of the Guangzhou and Dongguan metropolitan sprawl immediately after takeoff.

💧

Poyang Lake

The highlight of the route, offering views of China's largest freshwater lake and its seasonal wetlands.

🌉

Yangtze River Crossing

A stunning perspective of the winding Yangtze River near the Wuhu and Ma'anshan industrial corridor.

🚣

Hongze Lake

One of the four largest freshwater lakes in China, visible as the flight enters the Jiangsu airspace.

⚓

Grand Canal

Sections of the ancient Jing-Hang Grand Canal can be spotted snaking through the landscape near Xuzhou.

The right side is essential for seeing Poyang Lake, which is best viewed around mid-flight. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the lakes and the Yangtze River without glare from the sun.
