Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the dramatic transition from the mountainous Sichuan Basin into the vast, structured agricultural grids of the Henan and Jiangsu plains.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Chongqing Urban Sprawl

Aerial view of the dense 'Mountain City' skyscrapers and the winding Jialing River immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Daba Mountain Range

Rugged limestone peaks and deep valleys marking the boundary between the Sichuan Basin and central China.

🌾

Nanyang Basin

A vast expanse of geometric farmland patterns that characterize the transition into the Central Plains.

🏔️

Funiu Mountains

The southern foothills of the Qinling Mountains, providing a textured landscape of ridges and plateaus.

🏙️

Pingdingshan Cityscape

A clear view of this industrial hub's layout and its proximity to surrounding reservoirs.

Choose a window seat on the left (Seat A) to avoid the direct southern sun glare during midday flights. During the first 20 minutes, keep your camera ready for the dramatic meanders of the Jialing River. This side is particularly scenic during autumn when the agricultural fields in Henan show a diverse color palette.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Yangtze Tributaries

Glittering veins of water flowing toward the Three Gorges region as you depart the Chongqing area.

💧

Han River Valley

The silver thread of the Han River winding through the border regions of Hubei and Shaanxi.

🛶

Huai River Basin

A landscape dominated by water-rich plains and irrigation networks as the flight approaches Jiangsu.

🏞️

Yunlong Lake

On the descent into Xuzhou, look for this large scenic lake nestled against the western edge of the city.

🏙️

Xuzhou Industrial Hub

Views of the sprawling logistics and manufacturing districts that define this ancient crossroads city.

The right side (Seat F) is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Huai River basin. Watch for the dense network of canals as you enter the northern Jiangsu region, which highlights the area's history as a hub for the Grand Canal. Keep an eye out for the Han River confluence during the middle third of the journey.
