Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most iconic views of the Yangtze River's Three Gorges region and the massive expanse of Poyang Lake during the mid-flight segment.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Yangtze Gorges

Stunning views of the Yangtze River carving through the limestone Wu Mountains shortly after departure.

🏙️

Wuhan Metropolis

A clear view of the sprawling urban center and the convergence of the Yangtze and Han rivers.

💧

Poyang Lake

China's largest freshwater lake appearing as a vast, shimmering silver mirror to the north.

🏔️

Northern Wuyi Mountains

The rugged, mist-shrouded peaks of the UNESCO-listed Wuyi range near the Fujian border.

🏙️

Fuzhou Outskirts

The dense urban development of northern Fuzhou as the plane begins its final descent into Changle.

Book a morning flight to see the sunlight illuminating the deep valleys of the Three Gorges. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic river views. This side is also better for spotting the massive bridge networks over the Yangtze.

Right Side Highlights
8.0
⛰️

Wuling Range

The southern ridges of the Wuling Mountains, characterized by jagged karst formations and deep green forests.

🏙️

Changsha Cityscape

Aerial perspective of the Xiang River flowing through the heart of Hunan's capital city.

🏞️

Gan River Valley

Meandering river paths and agricultural plains that define the southern Jiangxi landscape.

🏘️

Fujian Tea Hills

Terraced hillsides and traditional rural settlements nestled in the valleys of western Fujian.

🌉

Min River Delta

The complex network of waterways and bridges leading into the Fuzhou coastal region during approach.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the mountainous interior of Fujian. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, this side often provides a clearer view of the Min River's winding path toward the East China Sea.
