Which side of the plane to sit from Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha) to Yaoqiang Airport (Jinan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the iconic Mount Tai and the expansive agricultural patterns of the North China Plain during the descent into Jinan.
Dongting Lake Basin
Visible shortly after takeoff from Changsha, showing the lush wetlands and the Xiang River flow.
Wuhan Outskirts
A distant view of the massive urban sprawl where the Han River meets the Yangtze.
Henan Plains
Perfect geometric patterns of China's breadbasket stretching across the horizon.
Mount Tai (Tai Shan)
The most significant landmark, appearing on the left during the descent into Jinan.
Western Horizon
Excellent sunset views over the Central China landscape for evening departures.
Book an A or B seat for the best views. On evening flights, the sun sets to the west, casting a golden glow over Mount Tai. During the descent, keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the rugged peaks of the sacred mountain.
Yangtze River Crossing
A dramatic view of the river's wide channel as the flight heads north from Hunan into Hubei.
Dabie Mountains
Rolling green ridges and deep valleys along the border of Hubei, Henan, and Anhui.
Danjiangkou Reservoir Area
Large bodies of water and intricate irrigation networks visible in the distance.
Yellow River (Huanghe)
The silt-heavy, winding 'Mother River' of China visible as you approach Jinan.
Choose a K or L seat for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Yangtze and Yellow rivers. The right side provides a better perspective of the Dabie Mountains' rugged terrain during the mid-flight segment.
