Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the karst mountains of Chongqing and Enshi into the vast plains and lakes of the middle Yangtze region, culminating in a scenic approach over Poyang Lake.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Chongqing Cityscape

Stunning views of the 'Mountain City' and its massive bridges during the initial climb.

🏞️

Enshi Grand Canyon

Breathtaking limestone cliffs and deep karst fissures visible during the first half of the flight.

⛰️

Lushan Mountain

The UNESCO-listed misty peaks appearing near the descent into Nanchang.

💧

Poyang Lake

China's largest freshwater lake, showcasing seasonal water levels and intricate wetlands on approach.

🌾

Jiangxi Rice Paddies

The characteristic green and yellow patchwork of the southern agricultural heartland.

The right side is essential for the descent into Nanchang. The transition over Lushan and the expansive Poyang Lake is best viewed in the afternoon when the light highlights the water's surface. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing for the best panoramas of the lake's ecological patterns.

Left Side Highlights

⛰️

Wu Mountains

Deep river valleys and jagged peaks as the flight leaves the Sichuan Basin.

🌳

Shennongjia Forest

A glimpse of the high-altitude, dense wilderness of Hubei province to the north.

🏙️

Wuhan Metropolis

Depending on the air corridor, views of the massive urban sprawl at the Yangtze-Han confluence.

🚢

Yangtze River Curves

Aerial perspective of the river's winding path through the Hubei plains.

Opt for a morning flight to avoid the sun's glare on the northern side. Look out for the distinct change from rugged terrain to flat agricultural plains midway through the journey.
