Which side of the plane to sit from Changsha Huanghua International Airport (Changcha) to Yancheng Airport (Yancheng)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the sprawling Dongting Lake shortly after departure and provides a more dramatic perspective of the transitioning topography from the Hunan hills to the Anhui mountains.

Dongting Lake
One of China's largest freshwater lakes, visible as a massive blue expanse shortly after takeoff from Changsha.
Dabie Mountains
The rugged, forested peaks that form the natural boundary between Hubei, Henan, and Anhui provinces.
Hefei Metropolitan Area
A clear view of the rapidly expanding urban center of Anhui Province and its surrounding industrial parks.
Anhui-Jiangsu Farmland
A mesmerizing patchwork of rice paddies and agricultural grids as the plane enters the lower Yangtze plain.
Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. Keep your camera ready within the first 15 minutes of flight to capture the mirror-like reflection of Dongting Lake. In winter, the Dabie Mountains may be dusted with snow, providing excellent contrast for photography.

Yangtze River Meanders
Excellent views of the legendary Yangtze River as it winds through the valley, often appearing like a silver ribbon.
Nanjing Bridges
Distant views of the massive infrastructure projects and bridges crossing the Yangtze near the ancient capital.
The Grand Canal
The ancient waterway's modern sections are visible as straight, busy arteries for commercial shipping.
Yancheng Coastal Marshes
Vast wetlands and salt marshes appearing during the final descent, famous for being a sanctuary for rare cranes.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights, as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the Yangtze River and the Jiangsu coastal plains perfectly. During the descent into Yancheng, look for the unique geometric shapes of the local fish ponds and salt evaporation fields.
