Which side of the plane to sit from Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha) to Huangyan Luqiao Airport (Huangyan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most diverse scenery, including the expansive Poyang Lake, the urban skyline of Nanchang, and the lush mountain ranges of northern Zhejiang.
Changsha Skyline
Aerial views of the Xiang River and the sprawling urban landscape of Changsha immediately after takeoff.
Mufu Mountains
The rugged green border between Hunan and Jiangxi provinces, featuring deep valleys and steep ridges.
Nanchang Urban Hub
A clear view of the Gan River crossing through the dense skyscrapers of Nanchang city.
Poyang Lake
China's largest freshwater lake, offering a massive shimmering surface and intricate wetlands.
Lingshan Peaks
Dramatic granite rock formations and high-altitude peaks located near the Jiangxi-Zhejiang border.
Tiantai Mountain Range
Significant cultural and natural peaks visible during the descent into the Taizhou area.
The left side is superior for water features and urban photography. For the best view of Poyang Lake, ensure you are halfway through the flight. On late afternoon flights, this side is shielded from direct sun glare, making it better for window shots.
Luoxiao Mountains
Extensive forest cover and rolling hills that dominate the southern Jiangxi landscape.
Wuyi Mountain Fringes
Distant views of the northern slopes of the famous Wuyi mountain range to the south.
Jinhua Industrial Area
A view of the bustling manufacturing hubs and urban sprawl of central Zhejiang.
Shenxianju Scenic Area
A stunning landscape of vertical cliffs and cloud-shrouded peaks, known as the 'God's Dwelling'.
Huangyan Reservoirs
A series of deep blue reservoirs nestled within the hills just west of Huangyan Airport.
Choose the right side if you prefer dramatic cliffside mountain scenery. The Shenxianju area is a major highlight during the final 20 minutes of flight. Morning flights on this side may experience significant glare, so a polarized filter is recommended for photography.
