Which side of the plane to sit from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou) to Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Dabie Mountains and the iconic UNESCO World Heritage site of Lushan (Mount Lu) during the descent into Nanchang.
Zhengzhou Cityscape
Panoramic views of the 'Green City' and its distinctive high-rises if departing to the south.
Dabie Mountains
Flying over the rugged, forested peaks that form a natural barrier between the Yellow and Yangtze rivers.
Yangtze River Crossing
A majestic view of the 'Long River' near Jiujiang, often dotted with heavy barge traffic.
Lushan (Mount Lu)
The legendary mist-covered peaks and steep cliffs of one of China's most famous spiritual and scenic mountains.
Gan River Valley
Following the winding path of the Gan River as it flows toward the Yangtze during the final approach.
The highlight is undoubtedly Lushan; sit on the right to see the mountain's steep northern face. On clear days, the contrast between the Yangtze River and the mountains is breathtaking. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side.
North China Plain
Vast agricultural checkerboards of Henan province stretching to the horizon shortly after takeoff.
Huai River System
Crossing the historical climate boundary between Northern and Southern China with its intricate canal networks.
Poyang Lake
The eastern shore of China's largest freshwater lake, visible as a massive expanse of water and wetlands before landing.
East Nanchang
Views of the Gan River's eastern banks and the rapidly developing High-tech District of the city.
Look out for the massive Poyang Lake during the final 15 minutes of the flight; it is most impressive during the summer wet season. Morning flights are best on this side to avoid the harsh afternoon sun glare over the water.
