CGO → NNY
Which side of the plane to sit from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou) to Nanyang Jiangying Airport (Nanyang)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic scenery as the flight skirts the eastern edges of the Funiu and Songshan mountain ranges, contrasting sharply with the flat plains to the east.
Songshan Mountain
One of the Five Great Mountains of China and home to the Shaolin Temple, visible in the distance shortly after takeoff.
Funiu Mountain Range
The landscape transforms from plains to rugged green ridges as the flight approaches the Nanyang basin.
Baotianman Reserve
High-altitude ecological scenery with dense forest cover and deep valleys located northwest of Nanyang.
Zhengzhou High-Tech Zone
Detailed views of the industrial and technological expansion on the southwestern edge of the provincial capital.
Sit on the right for the best mountain views. Morning flights are superior as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Funiu ridges. Keep an eye out for the transition from the yellow-loam plains to the dark green mountain forests.
Xuchang Urban Area
The sprawling city of Xuchang, a historical center of the Wei Kingdom, is visible shortly after departure from CGO.
Central Plains Mosaic
The 'Granary of China' unfolds below with a vast patchwork of wheat and corn fields that change colors seasonally.
Shahe River System
Watch for the shimmering curves of the Shahe and Ying Rivers as they meander through the flat agricultural landscape.
This side is ideal for evening flights to avoid the harsh western sun. It offers a peaceful view of the agricultural heartland; look for the straight lines of high-speed rail tracks that parallel the flight path.
