Which side of the plane to sit from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing) to Changzhou Benniu Airport (Changzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the winding Yangtze River, the dramatic Three Gorges area shortly after takeoff, and a spectacular view of Taihu Lake during the final approach into Changzhou.
Chongqing Peninsula
A stunning look at the 'Mountain City' skyline and the confluence of the Jialing and Yangtze rivers immediately after takeoff.
The Three Gorges
Dramatic views of the Yangtze River carving through the Wushan mountains, offering a glimpse of the reservoir's scale.
Wuhan Urban Cluster
Detailed views of the tri-city area of Wuhan and its numerous Yangtze River bridges during the middle of the flight.
Taihu Lake
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, appearing as a massive expanse of blue just before landing at Benniu Airport.
Jiangnan Water Towns
The intricate network of canals and green fields characteristic of the lower Yangtze River Delta during the final descent.
This is the premier side for river views. In the late afternoon, this side experiences the 'Golden Hour' lighting over the Yangtze River. Passengers should watch closely about 20 minutes after takeoff for the start of the Gorges. During descent, look south to spot the vast Taihu Lake, which signifies you are minutes away from Changzhou.
Daba Mountains
Rugged karst formations and sharp peaks visible shortly after departing the Chongqing basin.
Shennongjia Forest
Aerial perspective of the dense, high-altitude primitive forests in western Hubei province.
Hefei Cityscape
Views of the rapidly expanding capital of Anhui province and its surrounding industrial zones mid-flight.
Nanjing Yangtze Bridge
Distant views of the iconic bridge and the historic city of Nanjing during the descent phase.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides excellent views of the northern mountain ranges of Hubei and the urban expansion of Anhui province. Look out for the distinct change in topography from the mountains to the flat plains of the Yangtze Delta.
