Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior primarily due to the approach path into Nanchang, which offers expansive views of Poyang Lake, and early flight segments providing glimpses of the Bohai Sea coastline.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🌊

Bohai Sea Coastline

Aerial views of the Liaodong Gulf and the transition from the Northeast China Plain to the sea.

🌾

Yellow River Delta

Observe the intricate sediment patterns where the Yellow River meets the Bohai Sea.

🏙️

Hefei Urban Area

A clear view of the expanding capital of Anhui Province and its surrounding industrial zones.

🚤

Yangtze River Crossing

The massive scale of the Yangtze River is visible as the flight transitions into southern China.

💧

Poyang Lake

China's largest freshwater lake dominates the view during the descent into Nanchang.

Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you for better photography of the wetlands. The descent into Nanchang is the highlight; ensure your window is clean about 30 minutes before landing to capture Poyang Lake's seasonal water levels.

Right Side Highlights
7.1
🏙️

Shenyang Cityscape

Early in the flight, catch views of the massive urban sprawl of the Liaoning provincial capital.

🏔️

Mount Tai

On clear days, the silhouette of this sacred Taoist mountain can be spotted in the distance over Shandong.

⛰️

Dabie Mountains

The rugged, forested peaks of the Dabie range provide a textured landscape transition.

🛶

Gan River

The main river artery of Jiangxi winding through the valley towards the city center.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers better views of the mountainous terrain in Anhui and northern Jiangxi, which are particularly beautiful during the misty autumn months.
