Which side of the plane to sit from Dayong Airport (Dayong) to Changzhou Benniu Airport (Changzhou)?

Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a consistent panoramic view of the Yangtze River's winding main channel and superior views of the massive central Chinese metropolitan hubs like Wuhan and Nanjing.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
⛰️

Wulingyuan Karst

Spectacular views of the unique sandstone pillars and forested peaks of Zhangjiajie shortly after departure.

🏙️

Wuhan Metropolis

A clear view of the sprawling city divided by the Yangtze and Han rivers, featuring iconic bridges and skyscrapers.

🛤️

Yangtze River Bend

Continuous views of the river's main artery, busy with cargo ships and winding through the central plains.

🏔️

Dabie Mountains

Rugged mountain terrain visible to the north as the flight passes through the Hubei and Anhui border regions.

🌆

Nanjing Urban Area

Views of the historic capital, including the Purple Mountain area and the massive Yangtze River Bridge.

Secure a window seat ahead of the wing for the best photography of the Zhangjiajie karst formations. Afternoon flights are ideal for the left side as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the Yangtze River and city skylines without harsh glare.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Tianmen Mountain

The iconic 'Gate to Heaven' natural arch is often visible to the south during the initial climb out of Dayong.

💧

Dongting Lake

Views of China's second largest freshwater lake, appearing as a vast silver expanse to the south of the flight path.

🌾

Anhui Farmlands

A beautiful mosaic of traditional water towns and rice paddies characteristic of the southern Anhui landscape.

🌊

Taihu Lake

The massive, scenic lake near the Yangtze Delta, visible as the aircraft begins its final descent into Changzhou.

🏘️

Yangtze Delta Grid

The intricate network of canals, ponds, and industrial clusters that define the hyper-developed region near CZX.

The right side is best for capturing the dramatic Tianmen Mountain arch immediately after takeoff, depending on the runway in use. During descent, keep your camera ready for the unique 'water-town' patterns of the Yangtze Delta. Morning flights offer the best lighting for this side.
