Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the Yangtze River's winding journey and the massive metropolitan landscapes of central and eastern China.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Chongqing Urban Sprawl

Aerial perspective of the densely packed 'Mountain City' and the Jialing-Yangtze confluence upon takeoff.

🌊

Yangtze River Meanders

Spectacular views of the river winding through the landscape, showing the scale of China's primary waterway.

🌉

Wuhan Bridges

Look for the massive bridges spanning the Yangtze as you fly over the tri-city area of Wuhan.

🏞️

Dabie Mountains

The southern slopes of this major mountain range provide a scenic green backdrop in central China.

🌾

Jiangsu Water Networks

A dense grid of ancient canals and modern irrigation channels surrounding the Yangzhou-Taizhou area.

The right side is the 'river side' for most of this flight. For the best photography, choose a flight in the late afternoon to capture the sunlight reflecting off the Yangtze River and the many lakes of the Hubei and Jiangsu provinces.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Daba Mountains

Rugged, mist-covered mountain ranges north of the Yangtze Gorges during the initial cruise phase.

🏙️

Hefei Cityscape

A clear view of the expanding urban sprawl and industrial parks of Anhui's capital city.

🌊

Gaoyou Lake

One of China's largest freshwater lakes, visible just north of the arrival path into Yangzhou.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It offers better views of the transition from the high-altitude Daba Mountains to the flat, water-rich plains of eastern China.
