CANYTY

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of China's iconic water bodies, including a closer perspective of Poyang Lake and the sprawling industrial landscape of the lower Yangtze River Delta.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Pearl River Delta East

Views of the dense urban corridors stretching toward Huizhou and Dongguan shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Wuyi Mountain Range

Distant silhouettes of the famous UNESCO-listed peaks on the Fujian-Jiangxi border.

💧

Poyang Lake

China's largest freshwater lake, visible as a vast blue expanse or a network of wetlands depending on the season.

🌉

Yangtze Delta Network

A complex grid of canals, industrial hubs, and agricultural fields characteristic of southern Jiangsu.

🛶

Yangzhou Canals

As the plane aligns with the runway, look for the historic water systems that define the city of Yangzhou.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid glare. Watch for the dramatic change in scenery from the rugged mountains of the south to the flat, water-dominated plains of the north. Poyang Lake is best viewed mid-flight; look for the change in water levels which vary significantly between the wet and dry seasons.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Guangzhou Urban Sprawl

Aerial view of the northern districts of Guangzhou and the surrounding industrial parks during ascent.

⛰️

Nanling Mountains

Dense, mist-covered peaks that mark the geographical boundary between Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.

💧

Gan River Valley

Follows the silver ribbon of the Gan River as it flows north through central Jiangxi.

🚢

Yangtze Upstream

Views looking west toward the Nanjing urban area and the major bridges crossing the Yangtze River during descent.

Sit in front of the wing for the best view of the Nanling mountain ridges. If flying during late afternoon, this side will experience direct sunlight, which can be harsh for photography.
