Which side of the plane to sit from Zhoushuizi Airport (Dalian) to Nanchang Changbei International Airport (Nanchang)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Yellow Sea coastline, the intricate network of lakes in Jiangsu, and the vast expanse of Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, during the descent into Nanchang.
Yellow Sea Coastline
Panoramic views of the rugged coastline as you fly south from the Liaodong Peninsula towards the Shandong Peninsula.
Qingdao Coastal View
On clear days, catch a glimpse of the red roofs and blue sea of Qingdao's urban coastline as the plane passes over the Yellow Sea.
Hongze Lake
Observe one of China's largest freshwater lakes in Jiangsu Province, characterized by its unique shape and surrounding wetlands.
Yangtze River Crossing
A high-altitude view of the Yangtze River as it winds through eastern China, often dotted with heavy cargo ship traffic.
Poyang Lake
The star attraction; a massive wetland ecosystem that changes dramatically with the seasons, visible just before landing at KHN.
Choose a window seat on the left (A) for the best views of Poyang Lake. In summer, the lake is vast and blue; in winter, you can see the distinctive 'grass islands' and migratory bird habitats. Morning flights provide excellent lighting for the coastal segments without harsh sun glare.
Bohai Strait Islands
Spot the string of islands including the Miaodao Archipelago that bridge the gap between Dalian and Yantai.
Mount Tai (Distant)
On exceptionally clear days, the silhouette of the sacred Mount Tai may be visible to the far west while over Shandong.
Hefei Urban Landscape
The aircraft typically passes near the capital of Anhui Province, offering a view of its rapidly expanding urban grid.
Mount Lu (Lushan)
As the plane nears Nanchang, the majestic peaks of Lushan National Park rise to the west, often shrouded in scenic mist.
Anhui Farmlands
A patchwork quilt of agricultural fields that changes color from vibrant green in spring to golden yellow in late summer.
The right side (F or K) is best for spotting Mount Lu (Lushan) during the final approach. If flying during the late afternoon, be aware that the sun will be on this side, which can make photography difficult due to glare and cabin heat.
