Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Dabie Mountains

The flight path passes over the eastern edge of this significant mountain range on the Henan-Anhui border.

🚤

Yangtze Shipping

High-altitude views of the heavy vessel traffic on the world's third longest river near Wuhu.

🌾

Anhui Farmlands

A patchwork of rice paddies and traditional villages throughout southern Anhui province.

🌄

Zhejiang Highlands

The dramatic shift to tea-covered hills and mist-shrouded peaks as you enter Zhejiang.

🏬

Yiwu International Trade City

Views of the world's largest small commodities market complex during the final approach.

Sit on the right for morning flights to get the best illumination of the mountains. This side offers the best view of the 'sea of hills' in southern Anhui. As the plane descends into Yiwu, keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive, massive logistics and market buildings that dominate the city's skyline.

🌊

Huai River System

Crossing the historical climatic boundary between Northern and Southern China.

💧

Chao Lake

One of China's five largest freshwater lakes, visible near the city of Hefei.

🌉

Yangtze River Delta

Views of the dense network of canals and urban clusters near the Anhui-Jiangsu border.

⛵

Qiantang River Tributaries

Winding waterways that define the fertile landscape of northern Zhejiang.

The left side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers the best views of the massive Chao Lake and the industrial corridors of the Yangtze River Delta. Look out for the high-speed rail lines that parallel much of this route.
