Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Lushan mountain range and the legendary granite peaks of the Huangshan massif during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏞️

Mufu Mountain Range

Rugged ridges marking the border between Hunan and Jiangxi provinces shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🏔️

Lushan National Park

A stunning view of the famous UNESCO World Heritage mountain known for its spiritual significance and mist-shrouded cliffs.

🌊

Yangtze River Valley

Distant glimpses of the Yangtze River as it winds through northern Jiangxi toward Anhui.

⛰️

Huangshan Massif

The jagged, pine-covered granite peaks of the Yellow Mountain appear majestically on the left during the descent into Tunxi.

Book a window seat well ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of Lushan. Early morning flights are best to witness the sea of clouds effect over the mountains, which is a signature sight of this region. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best mountain shots.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Changsha Cityscape

Expansive views of the Xiang River and the growing urban sprawl of Changsha immediately after takeoff.

💧

Poyang Lake

Views of China's largest freshwater lake, which changes size dramatically based on the season.

🌿

Jiangxi Tea Plantations

A patchwork of vibrant green tea terraces and hills characteristic of the Wuyuan and Jingdezhen regions.

🏘️

Huizhou Villages

The iconic white-walled and black-tiled traditional architecture of Southern Anhui is visible in small clusters during descent.

The right side is ideal for spotting the vast wetlands of Poyang Lake. During spring, look for the bright yellow rapeseed flower fields that carpet the landscape below. Avoid late afternoon flights if you want to prevent sun glare, as the plane travels eastward and the sun will be on the south side.
